SA 3 point

Looking at things, I think the hitch arms will work with the rear cultivator brackets on the bull gear housings. Slide the rear gang out, replace with hitch pins and mount the arms on them. I can then use my 3 point rear culitvator to cover my tracks....and also use other implements like my finish mower as well. I have no idea how much lift capacity the SA has....but surely it will pick up the finish mower. This is just for handiness and not heavy duty work...have a big tractor for that. Just seeking ideas. Thanks.

I have been building these close to a year, believe me attaching direct to cultivator mount does not work, been there and done that. It will work for you mower, but not in ground tillage.

I do have photos and drawings.

Now, I have seen the aftermarket set ups and I think for what they cost, they ain't worth it. This endeavor is just a convenience thing. So far as cultivating goes...you can't fix what isn't broke, and in original form....you can't beat a SA for cultivation. I don't need the SA for plowing or grading or anything requiring high draft forces. I have been using my 65 horse tractor to mow the grass with and in some places, it's unhandy because of it's size. I had another SA with a belly mower and didn't like it at all. BUT, for narrow places....like edges next to the fences and so forth, I'd like to yoke the SA to the finish mower. I really didn't want to clutter the center undersides of the tractor with a hitch apparatus and restrict crop clearance...because this machine is primarily a cultivating tool. I have loaned it to a few neighbors and they all hate like hell to bring it back! To be 54 years old, it runs like a Timex.
