Homemade 3-pt. Mounted "Carryall"

Homemade 3-pt. Mounted "Carryall" TRACTORS Accessories 22-4-36 My homemade, 3-pt. mounted "Carryall" works great for hauling small loads, such as riding mowers, and also doubles as a work table. I made it to mount on my 1946 Ford Ferguson 9N tractor. The platform is made from 3/4-in. thick plywood and is 4 ft. wide and 6 ft. long. The frame is made from 2 1/2-in. sq. steel tubing and consists of a center beam mounted lengthwise, with three cross beams welded on top of it. To load or unload I simply lower the back of the platform to the ground. To mount the platform on the 3-pt. I remove two J-bolts from the front corners and attach the lower lift arms to steel pins that I welded into both ends of the center cross beam. I raise the platform high enough so that the two parking legs in front can be folded backward and pinned out of the way. I lower the 3-pt. until the front part of the platform comes down on the lower lift arms. Then I re-install the J-bolts so that they hook under the links, and install nuts on the bolts in order to hold the platform tightly against the links. Parking legs on back can be used to convert the unit to a working table. The parking legs are attached to both ends of a 1/2-in. dia. steel pipe that runs under the back part of the platform. The legs leave the platform level and stable. When not needed they can be flipped forward and pinned out of the way. (J. D. Fisher, Box 112, Dauphia, Manitoba, Canada R7N 2T9 ph 204 638-7432)
