Connect HF ton Engine Hoist to JD 318 3 point lift

   / Connect HF ton Engine Hoist to JD 318 3 point lift #11  
Phone finally dried out, these aren't the best of pics, but all I can come up with. As you can see, I raised the 3 point pins up from the bottom beam of the hoist, I keep my lift arms in the holes that give me the greatest lift and they don't drop down very close to the ground. I'd thought that I'd used saddles to attach the L brackets to the lower beam, but when I took the pictures, I found that I'd drilled two holes through the beam for each angle iron, bolted up with 7/16ths bolts. Each side has two angle brackets, one bolted to the other to add length. I cut a piece of junk angle iron I had laying around and welded the 3 point pins to it, then welded the angle the topmost L bracket. The top mount is simply two flat irons with one hole drilled 3/4" for the hitch pin, then two 3/8th holes to saddle across the upright beam at a slight angle. I wanted it to fit tightly against the upright to keep it from slipping up or down.

Hope this helps

Glad you got your phone dried out. I don't think I have suitable flat bar for the top link but should have some angle iron that will work. Believe there is just about enough room for 3/8 inch bolts. Will keep the bottom low so can sit the wheels back on the ground. My lift is only rated at around 400 pounds so just moving the hoist over ground is my main goal. Second benefit will be lifting without having to fold the legs down.

I am looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for all the help.

Got it off the ground. Will probably replace the top connection with a little longer and heavier flat bar and a shorter 3/8 inch bolt just used what I already had. :)
