Had been wanting to make one of these for a while now , so...after an hour or so in the barn with the grinder and the welder and this is what I came up with. I believe this will work for what I need to use it for.

"HOME MADE" LOL

Hey, that looks nice, I like clean looking work like that, Good Job, Why are you working in the barn??

You aren't using a straw bale for a welding bench are you??

Thanks. Noooo it's not a bale of straw It's just an old piece of particle board that I use as a mobile bench.

This is to go on my D series tractor(s).

Looks good all it needs now is a receiver hitch welded in the center.

Just bought this from Rural King this morning to do the same thing!

I have a flat piece of steel that i bolt to it with a hitch ball on it that way I can move my trailers around also. The reason I dont weld it on is that I need the hole to be able to move my smaller trailers and my yard sprayer as they have the hitch type mounts.

I am painting it now and will update with pix later today.

Thanks

Looks good. I made one like that for my PK's. I used a little heavier stock on top sides, about same width. I also used an angle iron for bottom with flat side turned up and the pins went into the heavier upper stock as it passed over the angle iron ends. Clear as Mudd? Anyway, I put a ball in center for trailers or could use other holes for clevis for chains. With an A-frame the hitch bar won't roll when using it like just a bar does. I do see now many guys just making an attachment that is straight up from bar to 3rd link with a receiver square at the bottom end that keeps from rolling too. Not sure a reciever end is all that much handier myself, but haven't really had one either.
