 Topic: WC with 3 Point- never seen one like this
Posted: 07 Mar 2020 at 7:42am |
Ive seen a lot of cobbled up add ons, but this looks really slick. Did someone just add the AC emblem as the finishing touch, or was there a kit? Its for sale on Facebook marketplace in Kansas City

Not sure why the power shift wheels were added. The wheels are all the way out with no more to spin them in.

Thanks & God Bless

Here's my home designed and built 3PH on my '48 WC. Works great with all my Cat 1 implements.

You’ve got a great looking tractor there. I admire the attention to detail you put in. Your homemade 3 pt hitch is really slick looking job.

Thanks Keith M, Since this picture, I've changed the top link mount so that it no longer moves up and down with the 3 PH. The Cat 1 basic dimensions are from a Ford Hundred series 3 PH. Sure makes a WC a lot more useful.

I think BOTH of these WC adaptations turned out really nice...
There's a substantial amount of 'art' involved in adapting an existing machine.
Engineers design machines using existing manufacturing techniques, and very frequently, existing componentry... but if the market warrants, they can push through advancements that allow them to improve with a 'cleaner' slate... which means they can integrate features and additional capacity into a product. Envisioning the future, and incorporating it into a new design, is in many ways, an art form.
When a guy gets an old tractor, and has needs for things that old tractor does not have, he must envision a pathway from where he is, to where he must be. THEN he must find a way, with his resources (materials, tools, and skills) to get from where he IS, to where he WANTS to be... and then push through to find success. This is yet a greater echelon of artwork, because the committment... the resources... are very personal.
