Replacing/modifying Model A manual lift

Happy holidays, family! I introduced my tractor in a previous topic here: https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1361777

I'm continuing to share my progress with outfitting this little machine and hope to encourage some discussion/input about making the tools work with limited resources and deviating from stock configurations. While I appreciate tractor show quality, that is not my goal.

I have since swapped Lift-All levers for manual lift levers and am impressed with the greater range of lift (The Lift-All levers are really just for depth adjustment)!

I would like to link front and rear toolbars together, but I unfortunately do not have a rear rockshaft, lift arm (3), or lift link (4) as pictured in the below illustration. I do have a rear rockshaft for the Lift-All and independent manual lifts, though.



Has anybody, for lack of these parts, fabricated/substituted their own? It seems like components for a 3-point hitch (7/8-inch lift arm pins, stabilizer bar, and/or adjustable top link parts) could make a suitable replacement. Based on my rough measurements, the lift arm needs to be about 10 inches long and the lift link needs to be 42–46 inches in length.

Here's a picture I found depicting what appears to be a bent pipe linking the two, but it also looks like the fender had to be removed to accommodate its motion.


I think I would just weld a lift pin on to the end of the rockshaft, but I wonder if such a weld would bear the weight. What do y'all think?

Over the years I have made a lot of different things on a lot of tractors. I once made a belly mount sickle mower for a B Farmall and used a Chevy power steering pump for the hyds to lift it. I also made affront lift from pictures some one from here sent me for my A/C C and then had to make a 3 point hitch o as to add weight to the rear of the C so I could still get traction. With enough scrap iron and some imagination one can build most any thing

I have the rockshaft but not the other two. you move the left wheel out to clear the long#4 or #3

heres a couple threads that might be able to help you see what you need. The poster was having trouble with linkage on a actual hand lift. You should be able to use some of the images to help fabricate your own lift.
