Help Converting Sprint to a 3 point Implement

wsmm · Aug 21, 2013

I working on changing one of my pull behind spring drag to a 3 point spring drag for use on my Ford 2N. I've installed the pins for the arms, but am a little confused on how to do the top link portion. Can any one offer some insight, instructions and / or pictures of how to do it?
Thanks,
Bill

can you just use a chain?

A drag, or harrow, needs to float over the ground, not have a heavy frame or ridged attachment.

One easy way to make a section on a 3 point is to get a 3pt boom arm, used for lifting 1000 lbs or so on a pole on the 3pt....

Attach the drag to the 3pt shaft of the boom pole with short chains.

Attach a longer chain from the end of the boom pole to the back of the drag section.

Lift the boom pole, and your drag section comes up.

Lower the boom pole, and the harrow is pulled by the short front chains, and allowed to float freely by the loose rear chains.

Take off the chains, and you still have the normal use of the boom pole.

Something like this, for example:
