WD45 3 point hitch conversion diagram?

[PassMeTheHammer]

Does anyone have a detailed diagram for a 3 point hitch conversion they've made for a WD45? Or the ACS011?
I need to get one custom made....the kit (ACS011) is hard to find/get in Canada.

Thanks.

Her you go. Steiner shows it still available. I guess this site won't let the link go thru but do a google search for acs011 and steiner parts should pop up. If nothing else you have the picture. https://www.external_link/ACS011-3-Point-Hitch-Conversion-Kit?srsltid=AfmBOooz3d_m7zF973EgodydgZAhCJWla9fmbStxwy-iWBloWIuqrCRy.

Steiner is a competitor in the parts business, links to their site have been blocked for years.

This site sells that hitch. Many other places sell it as well.

Class 2 draw bar welded across the factory draw bar. Then arms and and something to go between the arms and tha AC lift arms. Take the snap couplers off and hang them in the barn. You might want them someday. What ever arms you can find on a salvage tractor.

I've always used the snap-coupler latches on the lift arms when building a 3-pt hitch. It increases the height of the hitch when done right. Whatever you do, the lifting links to the draft arms have got to be pretty much straight up and down when the hitch is fully raised.

Thanks for the replies, taking notes.

I can find the kit for sale in US but they don't ship to Canada, so would have to use a broker (which all give estimates around $600 to ship)....the only website that ships to Canada is selling the kit for $2,500!
I don't have the money for that. (new farmers trying to get going)

So I was hoping someone had a detailed diagram with measurements to get one made.

What are your intended uses for this hitch?? Category #1 size ?? Are you going to pull a mounted 3-bottom plow with it?? or much lighter work? I don't know what your fabrication skills are, but a fairly simple hitch can be created without many dimensions needed. I could probably go up to the farm and get some numbers if this hitch doesn't need to be built for plowing.

PartsASAP, parent company of Yesterday's Tractor, has at least a couple places in Canada. Have you checked with them to see what they can do?
