Where can I buy the 3 pt part of an implement?

[jb1390]

Thanks for the help and guidance guys.. Good discussion for sure.. I have purchased one of the recommendations from above. to use to mount the tool set to. and I am thinking of modifying all of my implements to one Cat 1 standard.. As BCP said its not that I couldn't do it but I'm noobie enough to tractors that I didn't know that they weren't always standard.. Here is what I am up against

7ft box blade with "captured" lower mounts.. Not sure what else to call it but the lower arms go between the two pieces on either side of the pin. Actually I like this one the best and since it fits my tractor I had thought about making everything about it my new "standard" but as this thread has shown there is a way to do anything and everyone has their own way..

8ft set of disks. Extremely wide pin spacing.. Almost doesn't fit my tractor.. Maybe one of those times where the previous owner downsized the pins on an implement.. I do not know.. I just bought as back then I hadn't even found this site. and I was able to pick it up

6ft Woods Bushhog.. Has a very small pin spacing width. Probably the smallest of all things I have out there.. So small that my lock pins on my lower arms are all the way in.

Older auger.. Somewhere between the disc set width and the box blade..

So although most of you are "old" hat at this I thank you for the insight. I know I could have made the mounts and for sure will in the future. But I not only wanted to do it right.. I also wanted to learn what I could before doing it at all.

I've found the spacing to be different on my implements as well. Mostly in the distance between top link pin and lower drawbar pins. Width and pin size seem to be pretty consistent between the Cat 1 implements I've used, but the top link dimension was off on many.

My implements (and some of my friends implements ) have all been modified to fit my quick hitch. I picked my favorite implement at the time (grader blade), and set all the other implements to those dimensions.

Now it's easy to set up any new implement, since I just plop the parts on the quick hitch for spacing and weld away. Don't even need a tape measure.

15" is the proper (per the standard) vertical height for QH.
Hopefully your template is the same as the standard...........though I guess it barely matters (you may have your own standard if you wish).

Mine have been easy, so far. Trailer puller is QH compatible. LP blade wasn't, but all I had to do was drill a second 3/4" hole 3" lower than the existing one and move the pin down. The soon-to-be-mine LP land plane is also QH compatible. I designed (not yet built) a QH compatible counterweight as well. I sure love the easy change-overs.
