Hey guys, first off, thank you all for all the information on here, I learn a lot from this site. I'm in the process of adding a factory original three point hitch and PTO to my H3. After a lot of searching and travels, I've found all the brackets/parts/hydraulics and got them installed except for the lift arms and vertical adjusters. I've reached a point where I need a little advice. The factory manual and diagrams say the 3 point on this machine was rated as a category 1 or category 2 . I plan on putting a 5-6' rotary brush cutter behind it: 1.) Which category would you set it up for? Cat 2 for strength and bush down or stick with Cat 1? 2.) Most lift arms/adjusters I see in the local farms stores here are junk. Unless you all can recommend a good source, I'm leaning more toward original Allis pieces, say from a D15 or D17, or any recommendations you all might have from other models/brands that would fit. 3.) Any body have an original H3 set to sell or willing to take some measurements? Thank you all in advance.

Don't use any D15 factory 3 point components. Everything on those 3 points are weak. Nearly impossible to find one that has not been welded up in one way or another. That's all I can tell you. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Might be easier to find a snap-coupler bell to put under it, and Lift arms for s/c off of a d-15, and an AC factory s/c to 3 point adapter. THat way, when you take off the mower, alla that 3 point junk ain't a hangin there, waiting to get bent up...

I have the factory 3 point hitch ass'y for my HD-3. it is very stout. Nothing in comparison to the three point hitch on the 615 which is essentially a D15 set-up. ------------- Curt Anderson HD3, HD5B, HD6AG,HD6B dozer, I-400,615, 616,620,720,ACP25 lift truck, 1956 D Grader, AC 540 loader, AC #84 plow, Simplicity tractors, Agco MT225, Agco 2025, |
