3 pt quick attach

[GBeck]

if your making 1 you might as well make 2....you know for buddy across the border
I took that part # to the local TSC, then explained what it was, then actually had to draw it for them, with the response that never seen one of those before

so you guys say HF has them...they obviously ship to Canada?

GBeck -- I have the Harbour freight one but I don't think they ship to Canada -- I had it shipped to a US address and picked it up since I am down that way occasionaly. It should not be very hard to make or get made up. I am pretty sure Speeco has them as well -- may be just a matter of getting the part number and having those retail geniuses at TSC order it for you

My tractor lives 150 miles away, I won't be there for a couple weeks, but I'll be happy to do it then.

Whoops, I see you have the info already, should have read the rest of the posts before replying. Let me know if I can help.

As for TSC not being able to order one, huh. Maybe I only dreamed I had them order one, went there, paid for it, took it to the lake and put it on the Quick Hitch. Somebody pinch me......

I did tell them it was made by speeco, if that helps, the young fellow did have to special order it, but it only took him a minute to look it up.

Biggerten -- TSC here is different than Tractor Supply there -- although they can just about be considered equal in terms of IQ behind the counter

I didn't like the numbers from above so I drove the 20 miles to Agri-Supply. As I thought... those numbers are incorrect for Speedco/HF quick hitch adapter. I looked at the Speeco adapter (HF 141145) and they also had the cheapo quick hitch for $90 (looks exactly like the horrible fright one). The adapter fit with no problems but they would not sell just the adapter... it comes with the $245 (+/-, I forget exactly) Speeco QH. I was able to play with the adapter AND take measurements... we both agreed a moron like me should be able to weld it together... I have the scrap steel already.

I'm heading out tonight but I'll add all the dimensions I took and insert them into the graph above and post the sketchup file and photos of it here. I am going to try and have it welded this wk/ed... unless my wife has other plans for me...

TSC special ordered one for me a couple weeks ago, it came last Friday, $21 with shipping and tax. Part #HF141145

I did tell them it was made by speeco....

teg, I did miss the cc measurement, it was 1&3/4" . The rest on my HF adapter measurements were correct, unless the measurements were not supposed to be from the center of the hole.

ninefinger, No problem... and actually, I like the CC measurement. I've had a couple (ok, several) beers and have been up since 1am... but will post a little... The numbers (below) were not far off and what you measured would work... Was this a Speedgo or a Harbor Freight adapter?

Yes, measurement were from middle of the hole - I plan to add a little extra steel out there.

As for measurements, I got for AA, 2 and 5/8 (I might make it as wide as 2 and 3/4). For BB, I got 4 and 3/4 (and I'll add a 1/4). For CC, I got 2 and 1/8. They used 1/2 steel and I'll be using a little larger (5/8, I think).


When I do the diagram with the measurements... I'll do one with what I measured and another one with what I plan to use... But that will be in the morning.

PS. The "honey do" list is light, New Speakers in the truck... I still have to ***** and moan about it... to make it sounds like work

Now I get it - you didn't like the dimensions. I thought you didn't like the part number.

So sorry, please forgive.
