I have a worksaver 3pt conversion on a Farmall 200. Go to worksaver.com to see drawings of their equipment. Consists of two arms that plug into the two sockets on 2pt wishbone, and a toplink fitting that bolts on in place of the belt pulley - below the seat. Well made, and works OK. like the fellow below notes, attaching machinery is a bit more difficult than standard 3pt hitch. I also had to find a shorter top link to get appropriate geometry for my impliments. Also the width of the impliment between the 3pt hitch pins is critical, because there isn"t much adjustment on the inside (or outside) dimmensions, due to Farmall"s fixed width wishbone. You may have to look carefully for impliments, or shim the impliment"s 3pt pins to the proper width. If I remember correctly, the ideal width is 26" shoulder to shoulder on the pins. Since the Farmall I have isn"t equipped with a draft control, some operations like plowing on uneven terrain can be frustrating. I found that I had to run the lift on "float" and add guage wheel on plow to control the plow depth. I use mine on a disk, drag, back blade, scraper bucket, pto powered hay rake, pto powered sickle bar mower (with added bracket to activate chain lift - normally attached to tractor drawbar), and post hole digger (slight modification on boom to accomodate lifting height). But, in a nutshell, it works for me!
