Snap coupler subsoiler measurements

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am going to try and copy a snap coupler subsoiler. The hitch in my giddyup is I do not have one to copy. 
Found this image, it looks the easiest to reproduce. Looks like a snap coupler eye, two straight main beams going back, a large shank going down, and a (maybe) replaceable point?

So I drew it up how I think it is built. If someone has one of these, and can fill in all the measurements, I'd sure appreciate it. I put letters in all the blanks for keeping stuff straight. 

I have the snap coupler eye already. It is 3/4" thick. So, my guess is the main shank is probably 3/4" thick as well?

A, B, and C are the two main beams

D, E, and F are for the shank

and G, H, and I are for the point.

By lift links, I just mean the two rods that go up to the snap coupler latches on the lift arms.

Found another picture, and this caught my eye. Is the angle of the shank supposed to be adjustable? Sure looks like you can take that the bolt out, remove the block off the top, swing the shank back, and then bolt it in the hole in the beam?? I'm assuming its adjustable for "suck" so to speak?

Also, the way its set up in the picture, is the shank able to fold up in reverse, so you can back out of trouble? Or am I over thinking it?

Looks pretty simple, if I can just find the raw materials. If someone has one laying about and can take a few minutes to measure everything up, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks for looking.

	Littleamarv, that looks like a No. 3 subsooiler. I have a No. 4 and a WD pin-hitch model but can't help with the No.3. Here is a pic of the No.4. Will get you measurments off this one if you like.

	I have a number 3 that is a later model with the curved frame like the number 4. You will have to remove your PTO shaft with the straight beams. Will try to get some dimensions today.
