I still haven't finished the 3 PH. I will work on it this winter after football season. Since I coach high school football I have no time for anything but family and football. I also had my tractor rebuilt this summers it is running great now.

You could be dangerous with a decent electronic CAD program. Good stuff.

After 12 years I have returned to this project. I will post pics soon.

I used pillow block bearings to secure a 3/4" round rod with keyway

Then I made lift arms and a top link bracket

Ok here are some pics of what I have done. Years ago a forum member sent me a pic of the schematic. I used these to figure out a way to fabricate the hitch.

I started by using pillow block bearings to bolt onto the hitch of the tractor. I used a 3/4 round rod with a keyway as the shaft.
Next I had my high school use Cad to draw the lift arms then laser cut these parts. I then welded these lift arms to weld on hubs and attached to the round rod to lock in place.

What I wish I had was the part numbers for the 3 point hitch for the GT-14 or YM-146. I know some parts are still available, I just dont know the numbers.

This thread is way before my time on TBN, but it was interesting to read through. Your fabrication looks pretty good Gt14. As for part numbers I know Hoye has a parts manual. Maybe give Aaron a call and see if he can help you with the parts or part numbers you are looking for.

I know, bringing a dead thread back to life. Would you happen to remember any of your measurements from your project? I recently acquired a ym146 and have a bunch of cat 0 attachments I'd like to be able to use with this tractor and have had no luck sourcing a 3pt, or getting any dimensions to fab one up.
Thanks.
