Don't know if you would call this an implement or not but it is my 8.5 foot wide V plow I use to remove snow from my driveway with. I made it probably 25 or so years ago and it hook to the loader bucket on my 841 Ford

The loader on the 706 dad and I built back in the early 80s and the Farmall B was built in the late 50s. They were built from boiler flues, steel from junk loaders, mills hammer, and other scrap steel around the place. The buzz saw was once on a trailer powered with a VE 4 Wisconsin engine in the 40s and in the 50s mounted on the Farmall B and has seen a lot of use.

This is Homer, he belongs to a friend who passed away recently. IIRC, each part that came from something different is painted a different color, except maybe the wheels.

Here are a couple of pictures of 2 of my homemade items. The Massey Ferguson crawler is built on a Panzer garden tractor frame using Massey Ferguson garden tractor sheet metal. The tracks are made from round baler belting and hand formed steel grousers and wheel guides. The 2 bottom steel wheel plow is made from 2 David Bradley walking tractor plow bottoms and steel wheels from old farm equipment. The plow raises and lowers with the 2 levers. I have had a lot of fun with them at plow days.

My brother and I took his tow behind wood splitter
off, and fabricated it on to his skidsteer. Worked
great for chunking up 5 foot stumps. Made an old chit spreader into a wood hauler, Does that count?

Crop cart I built about 10 years ago. Works very good for picking up potatoes. Two seats face each other, and your buckets go into the rings. Connects to 3 point hitch on a small tractor.

My Dad built this front end loader from scratch back around 1960.
He had no lathe and he had no acetylene torch. The rams were built from saw mandrel shaft and black iron pipe.
He cut a lot with a hacksaw and the big stuff with the Forney A-C arc welder.

I built this garden tractor around 1963. '38 Chevy tranny, '47 Plymouth rearend, '49 Ford steering box, hay rake seat, Allis B steering wheel and 6 HP Wisconsin engine. My Dad did the welding as I was not that proficient at the time.

Not completely home made, but the top link mast is that I added to these Woods DuAL universal mount loader forks, so I can use them on the ford new holland 4630 3 point hitch. It's welded together now and the uprights are connected with 1" grade 8 bolts. It works perfectly, better than expected, using the 22" height instead of 18" for a CAT 2 3 pt hitch.

A home made winch I built for a friend. 17hp wisconsin with electric clutch engine off a reefer unit, triple reduction via a belt drive to the input shaft of a 4 speed trans out of an S10, the trans and a chain drive to the winch.

Used to winch a trimaran sailboat up and down a marine railway. Having the reverse on the trans allows controlled descent without having to rely on a brake.

The tractor is here because I made new rear fenders for it because the old ones were rusted away from road salt.

That's a good looking little homebuilt tractor and the young guy on the seat looks just like a youngster is supposed to look like in upstate or northern NNS in the late '50s or early '60s!Put a smile on my face.

Thank you GVSII.....believe it or not I was about 21 and already married. My F.I.L. took the picture. It was shortly after its maiden voyage and I was about as proud and happy as anybody could be!

Not sure if this transplanter(for the C) is or not, but looks like it.

Fork bracket on the Deere

Cultivators for the cub(made from bits and pieces)

Also have the brush guard on the M, 5-6 spreader trailers, a home made trailer, and a buzz/buck saw that used to be mounted on the H... I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
