All of the home brewed 3pt adapters Ive seen have a bad design a mear 1" differance in lenght of any part makes a huge change in the final geometry. Ive thrown away a half dozen home mades that I removed. Either they didnt go low enough. Or didnt maintane the 14" pto lenght through the range. Or failed to maintain a level i.plment raising and lowering. A proper 3 pt works quite well a poorly designed is a pain to use. If your just using for mowing just leave the top link off and let the mower trail along on the ground. Since the CA dosent have independent hyd the lift is usless anyway the PTO must be operating to lft the deck.

I almost bought the wishbone device but the design was not to my liking (at all).  I'm using the Cross Manufacturing (via OKT) model sold for the WD45 (and others).  I'm making minor mods to adapt it (mostly the bail for the drawbar).  It will have the required functionality.  I'm well aware of the pseudo-live nature of the PTO/hydraulics of the CA.  I have a functioning hand clutch again, and coupled with an overrunning/slip combo clutch should be just fine for my needs.  My adaptation is relatively minor.  If it turns out to need further adjustments, I'm fully able to design and build those adjustments.  I expect there to be some minor hiccups.  I don't expect any major issues.  I've made every attempt to conform to ASAE/ISO standards such as they are.  Of course, I also didn't expect the hydraulic pump to be so resistant to being brought back from its 40 year old death.
