Homemade 3rd point on my 450

When I bought my 450 the owner had been mowing with a 3pt mower, he said someone before him had welded it to use it as a 3 pt hitch. Here's what it looks like, do you think I can get by using it to mow and pull a cultivator?

My 450 has the 3rd point added to the shaft just below where your 3rd point has been added, also by welding. It is hard to tell how good the welds are until they fail. The good
thing is that the 3rd point doesn't transmit the draft load, but is used to level the implement. So your 3rd point is probably OK to use. What is more interesting to me is that the
original fast hitch appears to be modified where the lift arms attach to the lower arms. How do you plan to attach the lower points of your 3 point implement? I have aftermarket
arms that slide into the lower arms that accept the pins on the implement.
