so far I've never sold anything I've built.. so not much of a chance of that happening. in the past 20 ys.. I've only sold 1-2 tractors as well.. and never sold an implement at all.
if I need something real , lifted on a 3pt.. I have 20 fords inthe barn, all with working 3pt.
I wanted to get my angles and measurements correct before i did any finish cutting or work.
cutting a pattern out of scrap 3/16 plate for test is cheap.. cutting it out of 3/8 or 1/2" scrap uses up real good scrap.
the rebar.. I'm not so concerned about. buddy has rebar lift links on a ford and moves 4x5 round hay bales with it.. has been doing so for about 3ys..
I've welded on lots of rebar.. made gate panels and such out of it. I heat it red then weld.. so far have not had one shatter from hardening, or break out a weld. not saying it can't happen.. just tha tthe rebar in that mockup is for sure not the weak link. the top rocker panels are for sure the weak link.. that and the conenction links..
I have clevis ends for those.. but then.. i mentioned that and not many noticed...

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
