Case (SC/DC) 2-pt bale lift homebrew conversion to 3-pt pics

[rankrank1]

Not my tractor or my fabrication but snapped these pics of a tractor sitting on a local dealers lot as I thought they might provide people some useful ideas on converting a hydraulic 2-pt bale lift to a 3-pt hitch.

These particular pics show how someone converted an SC case originally equiped with Case's hydraulic 2-pt bale lift to a useful and much more universal 3-pt hitch. Looks like it should work pretty good to me - although will require a long 3rd link. Great way to get some use out of an old antique tractor that would otherwise be pretty much limited to drawbar work only without this insightful conversion. Someone was a pretty good metal fabricator.

Hope you enjoyed.

I don't think the arms will raise the implement high enough mounted that low. I'll post a picture of the home made 3-pt. hitch on my SC next week, when I can got to my other computer. It works really well.

That is a Nice JOB ,, and i suppose it worx well Enuf,, CONGRATS TO YOU ,,, but its a dam shame yoyu had to do that ...,, case is a durn good tractor ,and could had jumped way ahead of everyone , but everyone has to afro engineer their own 3 pt nitch ,,because they could not see their way to pay the royalty to ferguson and have a state of the art 3 pt with draft control

Here are some photos of my 3-point hitch converstion on a Case SC. The lift arms are pinned to the lifting bail arms. To hookup an implement, you remove linch pin and swing the arm out. I made the arm length adjustable, but don't really need it.
