HOMEMADE SLEEVE HITCH
 
I was wondering if anyone had ever built a sleeve hitch for a nf. Ive been thinking of trying it, thought maybe someone could have some pics. I know I could just buy one but theyre kinda salty for my wallet, just would like play a little harder with my 70.

I built one for my 126 and built a top link for my 100 after I cracked the original cast piece.

That looks awesome! Man you do good work! I can probably get there with my fab skills , but I dont have the machining skill or equipment. I may try this winter. Thanks so much for the pics they are a great help.

Ive been interested in this also, great work on the hitch IHinIN!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've got a drawings of the pieces with dimensions. I'll scan them and post them here.

please do
 
Hello all, i would like to say Adam your a freakin genius. i've read about this set up and the one with the hydraulics. i don't know if i can do the latter one but sometime in the future i will attempt to try. please do give drawing with measurement. also are your wheel weights home made. i have to say they look pretty sharp too. in my belief there should be a seperate section on this site just for drawing and measurement with full plans for making add-ons or modifications. that is for the people that wanting to share their ideas. i know this section has the talk about this but maybe seperate drawings and plans. anyway thank you Adam and all members who come up with these great projects for us that are less able to see what is possible. good health, Luke

That hitch looks pretty slick man and better that the cast factory piece! Great job

elbertjolley 08-24-2011 08:15 PM

I agree with lukeott and I'm asking the same also please

brucer95 08-25-2011 02:19 PM

I am looking forward to seeing the prints too. I agree with you guys this site needs a blueprint page.

lukeott 08-25-2011 09:44 PM

Did just that
 
Thanks for info DWAYNE. I may not be the right person for doing this since I'm new to the site, but I put this in the suggestion box. Hoping other will follow up. I'm sure no leader, just want a simple spot for guys like myself that don't see the hole picture and need help from others that are willing to show us. I hope you guys will keep sharing them too. As always good health, Luke

_DX3_ 08-25-2011 09:49 PM

Everyone is the right person here..... Is why we have the suggestion place and all the other areas, to help everyone of us that loves these cubs to have more enjoyment and pass on ideas and help each other...

I guess I forgot to post the sketches of my home made hitches. I'll try to find them and get them posted.

machinehead323 04-16-2012 11:54 AM

do you have any sketches to use? i need a 3 point lift and sleeve hitch for my 1650 wideframe. i can make it all if i know what to make and have dimensions. i have the lathe mills and welder at my disposal.

mcieliesz 04-16-2012 08:36 PM

Adam, can you tell me what size material you made the lower bracket and the lift bars from? Thanks,

Mike
