I'm finishing the assembly on a home-built three-point hitch for my '47 H. The design is pretty close to what Saginaw offers. I cut the holes for the front mount points of the lift arms to just accept the 3/4" pins. As such, the arms have no side-to-side play and the spread at the implement end of these lift arms is 22". I understand the standard spread is 26". I also only have holes at the implement end of these lift arms - not the ball socket ends. I'm hoping to avoid welding ball socket ends on the end of the lift arms for the time being. My questions are directed at getting the spread at the implement end of the lift arms to the 26" - 30" range that I'll need to hook up an implement.
Should I: 1) Drill the holes in the lift arms at the 3-pt frame end a little larger so they have some play to allow the spread at the implement end to go a little wider? I don't have any example 3-pt hitches nearby to check to see if this play is normal. 2) Put some bends in the lift arms to get the spread to the desired width? 3) Both
Eventually I will weld the ball sockets on the lift-arm ends but I was hoping to get this thing working by bush-hog time this weekend.
