I need a replacement 3 pt. lift shaft off my series 82 plow. It is the 2 inch shaft the 3 pt. lift arms hook to, about 30 inches long with a right angle bend on one end. This model goes through the plow frame. There has got to be hundreds laying in fence rows.

Cat 1 or Cat 2 ? I have been looking for a cat 2 lift bar for my 3 pt. Allis Plow that has a cat 1 bar . If you want a Cat 1 bar and you can find a Cat 2 bar , I would trade you . good luck finding one . I have been looking for 3 years

You will find a complete plow before you find just the lift bar.
That's what I did and now have 2 plows , one with cat `1 lift bar , and one with cat 2 . I tried bidding on a parts plow that had a 3 pt cat 2 lift bar . Was going to buy it for just the lift bar . another guy ran the bid up over 600 . I stopped bidding there and talked to the guy that bought it . he bought it for the lift bar just like I was trying . There probably a NOS one sitting in a shed or garage somewhere but I have not found it yet . Could probably get a good fab shop to make one easier than finding one

I fabricated one using hot roll..... not hard enough and I bent it. I am looking for a 2 foot piece of 2 inch 1045 or Stress proof. That seems to be hard to find too. If you fabricate one, keep the length as short as possible. There is a lot of stress on that rod.

Well, after much research, it looks like I need 1144 (Stressproof) or 4140 cold formed (chrome moly). McMaster Carr says 1144 doesn't weld well but 4140 does. I am waiting for info from several steel supliers, but it looks like about 35-40 dollars per foot plus shipping. $150 should fabricate a new lift shaft....... probably cheaper the a used one.

4140 does not easily weld. It tends to crack. Best to preheat and cool slowly.HTH Tracy

I have one. It was a 4 bottom, someone took off the 4th and some other parts. I will part it for whoever wants the most. What is it worth you?

Tracy Martin is looking for one. Yours must be Cat II. I am having one made out of chrome moly. Fab shop is familiar, heat to 400 weld and then cool slow in vermiculite.
