D15 3 Point?

the reason they are both controlled by the same lever is because the internal 3 point lift cylinder and the remote line are hooked together so whichever has the heaviest pressure load on it is the last to work.  it is all about equal or unequal pressure.  If you will look left and behind the seat you see the remote coupler and it has two steel lines that go to the hydraulic pump.  one of those lines is the high pressure and the other returns oil to pump. under the block that those two lines hook to is where the hose goes from the block to the lift cylinder.  you cannot see this hose unless the block is removed as the hose is all internal.  that whole setup is why and where the fluid goes both directions  with only one lever.  hope this helps

A good machine shop could reproduce that part for you. Wouldn't be cheap, but would last. JMHO, Tracy

Try calling Austin Farms Salvage at 660-679-4080, they are in South West Mo. 

BTW, what is the best guess as to how many factory 3 point D15's were made to begin with? However many that was, less all those with busted castings, less all those already parted out or potential parts tractors hidden away behind barns or stashed away in barns, may be all that are left to work with. They may be few and far between by now.

To your question of how a machine shop made a replacement and what it looked like. I have not had one of these made so can not show you photos, but I have had steel replacement parts for different cast parts made over the years, many more complicated than this part. Clean your broken one up good, take it in hand, along with the center to center and the diagonal measurements of the four mounting holes in the housing, and go talk with the shop. There are generally different ways to do things depending on the tooling and materials they have available and they will explain to you how they can do it with their equipment. If they are a "real" shop they won't need, or likely want, you to tell them how you think they should do it. When done it will look very close to the original, but with all 4 mount tabs. And, no it won't be cheap but none of the options, like converting to a snap coupler and building a 3 point to work in conjunction with that, you are kicking around here will be either. You can always check out two or 3 shops if you want to shop it around. JMHO

I think that 3 point could be one that alot of after markets were pushing.

Here's a three point. http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/this-guy-has-some-d14-15-things_topic155579.html

Did you try calling him to see if he has more parts?  here's the call back number  (717) 422-0267. 

Modirt, of the numerous D15's I've had, the first one was damaged like yours, broken DB bracket, studs in transmission and lift housing had been damaged to a point they were welded inside of the housings.  All as a result of misuse!How are the mountings in the bottom of the housings?Are you interested in selling?  

We had a D15 (not sure what series) and beat the crap out of it and never had problems with the 3 point factory system. Hauled manure (high speed thru the fields loaded...), pulled and jerked frozen logs out of the woods, etc. Maybe lucky? Whatever...

I had a Saginaw Tractor Parts 3 point on my D14.  They no longer make them.  It is labeled to fit the 14, 15 and 17.  I got a piece of hardened thread rod.  Using break cleaner and a die, i cleaned out all four holes.  I put four studs in with locktite.  I mounted the three point using double nuts.  It did not come lose or break.
