Thinking of welding together a rear lift boom for ny 8n would like to use the extra tow bar I have .anyone have any drawings showing how far it
should extend what angle out from the tractor. or any drawings that may give me ideas?
 
IMHO you can buy one cheaper than you can build one. TSC has theirs on sale now for $129. I have one and have not had any problems with it.

There are D-I-Y plans to build a lift boom on the N*T*C* site, under HOW-TO's/Implements. Curious though, what's a tow bar got to do with a boom? You can do anything you want, it is your tractor after all, but I'd say unless you already have the material and welder lying around, why not just go to a boneyard or auction and get a used one or any dealer will sell new ones. I have bought these for $25 or less at auctions.

As others have said, I would watch for a used one.
That said, dont build the darned thing too heavy.
Even a cheap, lightweight one will lift WAY more than your tractor will lift.

I built one like the ones you can buy but I had the material on hand already to do so, and I enjoy it more cause I made it... 8)
 

I would sell mine for 75 it may rust into before I ever use it again...

I see engine cranes on cracklist all the tine for $100 I would buy dat and add a 3 point hook up and knock out two birds with one stone...

BTW I had to move the lower pins UP :(.... and extend the top link hook up out a good bit...
