Here's some PHOTOS of Customers that have built their own Hitches.
Sam Massenburg's Beautifully restored 1945 John Deere all-fuel "A". Sam built just the top
link mount to work with his other 801 hitch parts he had.
I would be flattered for you to use my pictures on your Web Site and I appreciate the comments
on my tractor.I spent approximately $138.73 for all materials including your plans. I had both the lower and upper lift arms
from the previous 3 pt. and modified them to your plans. I purchased the steel for the hitch from the "scrap pile" at the
local steel dealer. The adjustable side links and new ends for the lift arms from Tractor Supply Company.
I preferred
to heat and bend the hitch to get the right fit on the axle. Also, did you see how I "dog eared" the corners on the attachment
flanges to the axle? It lets you see the lettering and gives it a nicer look I think.
Once again thanks,Sam Massenburg -Tennessee
Mark and Jean Alvarez's nicely restored John Deere,The pictures prove,These Deere's were made
to work and still do the job. (of course between shows!)
Here is a picture of the hitch I built with your plans,and a picture of
my wife mowing our 10 acres . The hitch was real easy with the plans,a lot of drilling, but thankfully I have a drill
press. It cost a little over $200.00,with plans. I didn't think I would be able to add one when I found out that a prebuilt
one was around $700.00, and it also turned out to be a good experience.Mark Alvarez-Fla.
"Mark,Where do you find a good wife like yours that is willing to brush-hog?
Alot of us would love one like Jean"
