Homemade Rockshaft
Has anyone ever made a homemade rock shaft for the 3 point for a WF.I was thinking of making one out of some 2 inch thick walled square tubing:bigthink:
|
Not quite done with mine . I still have to weld on the lift arm. I built this for my 682. Pics to follow.

I was meaning for the sleeve hitch but thanks anyway.

cub1450 that is for a sleeve hitch. Like I said it is not complete yet. I don't have the lower bracket mounted yet.

lift pc ?
cubs-n-bxrs,
What is the bolt on (Pittman ?) arm on the right side of your photo from? In other words, where can I get that piece from? Is the pivot shaft solid? I like what you have done with this so far. :beerchug: Hope to see it when you are done. Jim |
Why not just buy a real rear lift? You can usually find them for about $60-$100
|
That pitman arm will probably not stay put with clamping alone. Also, what size is the lift bar? If it's much smaller than an OEM one, it will probably bend.

jpackard56 that pittman arm is off of a steering knuckle from a 2185 cub. The original square hole was 5/8th and I milled it out to 3/4' for a little more durability. The round shaft is a 1" solid piece of tool steel that is more than capable of lifting a 100lb plow in the air.
Yamaguy whats the point of spending 60-100$ on a set up when I can build one for nothing. And I got the satisfaction saying I built this myself. Matt clamping that to the rock shaft will be fine. Doesn't even move a 1/4 turn and is a press fit on top of that. For added protection I will be using green Loctite when it is finished assembled. The end of the shaft is square where the pittman arm is fastened so there will be no slippage anyway. |
Ah, ok. That's wasn't obvious from just looking at the pictures. That will probably be fine, in that case.
