Just joined not long ago, and been reading some of yalls excellent post and figured I'd join in. I'm not sure if this would go here or on farm equipment but someone will let me know I'm sure if it not right place.
Well a series of events has left me with out anything to mow with so I had to come up with something. My 64 4000 ford has came down with Pto problems, and 484 international is away on the last cutting of hay on another property. And my 306 wood mower I've been using on a friend's ca just ate the belt. Left me with a good running b allis and a 5 ft finish mower. The ca came to me as a non runner and I was charged with getting it running. After getting it running I found out he was hoping I would just buy it, well that wasn't part of my plan it has the allis troble of jumping out of 2nd gear so it was more of a project than i wanted, and iv already had enough project so i keep it most of the summer and mowed with it as part of payment for getting it running. Know he has traded it off and as I said it just ate my belt. So it's leaving and I didn't really fell like having to get another belt for the belly mower and putting it back on my b so this is what I came up with.
The total cost of this project was 30 dollars and about 2hr of fab work. The stick if pipe came from a local machine shop for 10 bucks and two small Cleves for 9 bucks a peace. I came up with this design so it could be taking off easily so it can still be used as a 3pt when I get the 4000 fixed or the 484 shows back up. I mowed with it today and it worked very well. I think it should have something running to one arm to the other for a stabilizer, but as prof of concept I think it's pretty good.
I'm not a fabricator but for a fast and dirty solution I'm happy with it maybe it last me the rest of the year. Guys let me know what you think. I'm pretty proud of it for an old country boy lol.
Thanks for another great place to talk tractors. Wil
 
Looks like it should work fine.. if you needed it for a longer period of time maybe beefing it up with larger pipe and clevis's might have been in order. You could run a single stabilizer bar from the drawbar to one of the new arms or crossed chains to both arms and that would keep it from wandering from side to side at all..... Good Job.
 
It working well. The 4000 was bought new by grandpa in 64 and was the main farm tractor for years. It had been in service ever since had 2 complete overhauls 4 sets of tires 2 clutches. The pto just pretty well wore out. the collar that connects the Pto to power shafts just kicks out of gear when it hits a hard spot or when the load is lighted to much quickly. Iv got most the parts just not had time to start on it. Thanks Wil
 
Lets see that B working.

The Allis B is my sentimental favorite tractor, I learned to drive on one in my single digit years up in Northern Mn at Grandma's farm.
It wasn't much of a farm and that was the only tractor she had then.
 
This is another of those threads where I can only occasionally see the picture and then only for a split second. Don
 
I would have to agree with the cross chains. That would really help with the mower swinging behind the tractor. Otherwise your work looks like a good solution. :thumbs:
