Hey yall...
Well, I've been trying to build a few things here to make some money... I'm making a few carry-alls and a couple fence unrollers, plus a few other odd things.
I'm trying to figure out how high to set the lower link pins, on the hitch parts of these things. If I set them too low, then someones going to have a heck of a time lifting the implement to get it hitched up. And, I need to know how far from the lower link pins I should put the holes for the top link pin to go through. I haven't found anything too useful with google, except the pins should be 24" apart, which I already figured out, and I don't have a handy tractor to go and measure on...
I made most of these welds with an old Lincoln AC only tombstone... Which actually welds fairly well, but the rough arc, hard starts and random arc-outtages make me miss the DC millers at school... I'm using 7018 mostly, at either 130 or 145 amps, with the occasional 6011 in there, and a bead or two from my Hobart 187 mig.
I'm still learning how to tack things in place, and then weld over the tacks so that the bead doesn't have a high spot where they were, and yes, that three bead weld is sideways, I did that in the flat position.
I'm open to all advice, and criticism... Thanks guys :-)

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
