Ya\'ll made me do it!!
Seeing all the 3 point receiver hitches you made me do one!! Pretty easy project. Receiver cost me $10, steel was laying around, $6 for the cat 1 pins. About 2 hours labor. I can't see how anyone can charge $200 for these things. Its a simple build, and one of those, get it done pretty quick, look at it, and smile at a job well done!!
I used 3x3x1/8 square tubing (since I had it), 5/16" plate welded to the ends to hold the cat 1 pins. I welded the receiver tube to the horizontal tube, then cut out the vertical tube to fit over the receiver tube and welded it all around.
I need to try it out, then, based on the trial run, I may add a brace from the end of the receiver tube up to the vertical to brace it. Of course, I need to add hooks, but for some mysterious reason, the couple places I stopped to pick a couple up are all out of them at the moment.
Thanks for the ideas!! Now what else can I make??
