Saginaw 3pt ???

The kicker is that rear rockshaft, in my case mounted on the fenders, and the linkage going to the front rockshaft. Regardless of whether I'm going to use 1 point or 3 point I've got to rebuild that setup. I'm afraid after 47 years those fenders aren't going to stand the weight and if I don't do something, I'm going to bend up a couple of perfectly good fenders. My plan is to run 3/4 x 4 inch plate up from final drives and mount rear rockshaft on top of those. Over the years I've broken the linkage going to, and the front rockshaft as well. I am considering putting a remote valve and cylinder on tractor to operate the rear rockshaft. Just wondered if you had the remote cylinder set up from Saginaw? Also how well does it lift? I know those remote setups on SC and 200 for fast hitch, the weight on front of tractor is the lifting limit. If the Saginaw valve and cylinder will lift like those fast hitches, then I know my rockshaft must be removed from the fenders.

I am also looking at designing and fabricating my own lower link sencing draft control to operate on either the 1 point or my 3 point. That is another story, and by the time I'm done the hitch will be worth 3 times value of tractor. Maybe I'll put it on the market, problem is no one will buy it. Oh well, I'll just keep investing money in these old tractors, there has to be money in them, I've never got any out.

I'm not interested in a hitch from Worksaver, what they build for offsets is pure junk. I built a hitch like that 45 years ago. You can not operate a 3 point with lower links parallel, they must be at least 30% closer at tractor than implement. That is the only way 3 point will pull true and centered with tractor.

I have 4 quite heavy implements, and really all I'm looking for is hydraulic parts to modify my rear rockshaft. Your telling me your lift cylinder and the block to tee into the system came from Saginaw. Did you buy the control valve there as well? I presume that lift cylinder is basically 3" bore and standard implement cylinder re: length.

My main concern is that rear rockshaft, mounted on the fenders and the linkage to it being my weak link. If I'm going to use this disk much, I probably should go and buy 354 or 444 diesel, however currently I don't see that much use for one.
