Question for Dr. Allis or anyone who has knowledge of this. How do you mount an Allis #3 mower on a CA with a snap coupler, the mower came off a CA with pin hitch. I have found a video of some one mounting a #3 on an H farmall????

| Sorry. Can't help you. B-C-CA tractors didn't exist in my area. |

| Thanks, I have seen one now using a 3pt modification, one on a B, one on a H farmall but can't find a newer CA mounted one. |

The parts book or an operatetors manual will show the different hitches for different tractors. I'm not where I can look at the books for the #3, however I do know that on a #5 the same main hitch is used for the PinHitch and SnapCoupler tractors with a few extra straps for the SnapCoupler. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

here's the page from the parts book. Nothing is shown as different from the PinHitch to the SnapCoupler tractors. However from what I see here and knowing the differences the rivet (#4) should go through the furthest hole for the rockshaft which you will not have on a snapCoupler tractor. The CA PickUpPlow manual shows how to change positions of the rockshaft for lift or drawbar work. You will need to have the rockshaft in the position for drawbar work and remove the lift latches. Using the remaining hole on the rockshaft after removing the lift latches will most likely have the front of the mower too high and a PinHitch rockshaft is probably needed unless you fabricate a workaround.  ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Remove both cylinder pins from the rockshaft, let rockshaft lower all the way to vertical and re-pin lift cylinders in to other hole, as shown in many implement manuals. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

See if this works from the manual.

I had mine on a WD-45 with a snap coupler. Mine hook up was different than yours. If I remember I would engage the hydraulics at the quadrant and the rear cylinders would go up as far as they could then the hydraulic cylinder on the mower itself would work. WD-45's have two different mounts. Mine mounts on the drawbar and then to the finals. Do you have any mounting hardware at all? Good luck. ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's.

| No, just what you saw in the mower, my snap coupler is similar to a WD just on a smaller scale. I can most likely make a mounting bracket. Just wish I could see one on a CA with a snap or even a picture of a #3 on any snap coupler. |

Hey I just told him I would post what the manual says!!!!!! Don't know why I bother! ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's. Misc other equipment that my wife calls JUNK! |

Your post helped, especially the part on what to do with the hydraulics. I did some google and found a picture of mounting brackets for a D-14 snap couple, which gives me at least an idea what those snap couple brackets look like. Going to Ebay to see if there is a manual I can pick up.

I guess you don't know what you are looking at. After seeing those pictures I will correct myself. After you remove the lift latches from the rockshaft and lower it to the vertical "drawbar" position the #3 brackets will pin into the remaining rockshaft holes and be in the correct position. There is no need for the drawbar cross piece to be pinned to the rockshaft and there is nothing that will need to hook into the SnapCoupler bell. If you got ALL if the pieces that came from a PinHitch CA, just lower the rockshaft and put everything in place and go mowing. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

| I don’t think just letting the rock shaft swing without being pinned rigid. There is too much slop and will beat the crap out of the cyl. There has to be more to it. |
