Seventeen years ago, I bought a 1952 AC B , with a worksaver 3 pt on it, It worked ok, but was slow to rise, and a little lightly built. My B really needed more weight, on the front, with a plow,or disc, on the 3 point. It was a seized engine when I bought it, and being as I had totally rebuilt the engine, and wanted to keep it for years, I put a Northern tool, gear pump, on the front and a control valve on the right fender. I reworked the Worksaver hitch, and made it stouter, by removing the original drawbar, and building my own, out of 4" square tubing, and mounted 2 eight in, stroke cylinders, on the drawbar, lifting standard Ford lift arms. I now have the handiest little tractor possible, and have used it around my 10 acres, weekly, for 15 years or more. As I get older, it gets harder to mount this little bugger! Tonys Tractors, in Or. makes 3 points for the little AC's, and they are stouter, than the Worksavers! Google Tonys Tractors.
 
I gave one away last fall that came off of my B. It worked but it didn't work right. If you had the carry all on it and leveled the carry all at ground level it would tilt it backwards as it lifted so everything rolled off the back. The previous owner had ordered it off eBay. Guy at work was going to order one and I had this one laying around so I told him to come get it. I think the lower links pin too far under the tractor and the top link is too far to the rear. The geometry just didn't work out whatever was wrong.
 
I have one on mine. Bought it on ebay around 2011. Was going to build one but would have had about as much in it as I did to buy it. It is heavy duty and well built. Because of the nature ot the hydralic pump on a B it is not the fastest lifting but does do a nice job. I loaded front tires with washer fluid and hung weight on center of front axle and still hang some old brake drums off a semi on the weight brackets I made on the sides. With all this extra I can lift what I feel is enough for this little tractor without breaking anything. I definitely have more hydrualic lift than I have front end weight to hold it down thats for sure but don't want to push it.

I have 3 point on my WD45 and it works just about as good as any other 3 point on my other tractors. I may be selling the tractor, snap coupler blade and 3 bottom S.C. plows in the near future. Getting too many in the heard so think gonna cut back this spring if I can just make myself do it.
