3 Point Hydraulic Hoist
I just finished my latest project, a 3 point hydraulic hoist. It's going to be a real back saver.
I was concerned about lifting heavy objects and putting too much weight on the 3 point. I came up with the idea of adding crazy wheels to the hoist's base. The wheels will carry most of the weight load.
I added an arm which has a pin on it's end. The pin goes through the hole in another tractor's hitch plate. The arm is then raised with the winch which picks up the rear of the tractor so I can move it.
I can use the hoist just like an engine crane to pick up or load heavy objects.
Here are some pictures of my contraption. What do you think?
I may add a thing or two so for now I'm not going to paint it.

I bought a 1864, it's just grown from there. The Cubs have replaced old Chevys as my hobby/passion. The only car I have left is a '67 Chevelle wagon.
Seems like a good trade off. I can put five Cubs where one car sat and there are no titles or license to fool with!
