I installed my 3 pt adjuster bars tonight. Thanks for those that posted how much to cut to make them fit! I made some bushings, had to drill the bar out to full 1/2 inch so they would fit, then bolted 3/8 bolts through them.

It was great to use! I hooked up a new box blade by pulling the 3/8 push pins (3/8 pin with a ball at one end to help hold it in) and moving the 3 pt arms apart. Hooked up the top link and raised it.

Then walked to the rear of the blade and centered the unit, and reinstalled the push pins.... Easy, Easy, Easy!

A great way to eliminate the sway and it didn't cost too much either!

My weldable chain hooks arrived today, so will weld them to a 1/4" plate and bolt that to the bucket in two places.

Best wishes to all.
Ron, BX2200, FEL, MMM, Tiller, PHD, and box blade.

If I may ask; what was the cost? I got a quote that was around $200 for the parts.

Cost was about $60 (IIRC)

I ordered it from Carver. Bars and Tubes were sold separately. Pins cost me another couple of bucks, but total it was <$70, with shipping.
