I am working on building a cat1 3pt for my WD from some scrap I got lying around. I am still in the design stage and I can's settle on a few questions. I only plan on using the 3pt for a back blade and possibly a single bottom plow. I also want everything to be removable in an attempt to keep it original. So here are my questions.
1. How far past the tires should I extend my arms. Is there a standard or is it measured by the distance to the PTO shaft?
2. I was considering using chain instead of a side link. Other than being cheap looking, is there any downside to this that I should know of. I plan on using 3/8 inch chain with a 6600lbs working strength.
3. Will the draw bar hanger on the WD support the lift arms? I am planing on bolting my arms to the 5/8 hole in the side of the hanger.
So that's what I got rolling around in my head. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

only problem with chain is that you can not control the angle of the implement from left to right. been their done that.
