[Farmall] Post hole digger on Farmall M (was Re: Fw: Farmall M hard to start

[WALTER AVERY]

thanks for the reply

let me explain the hitch

i used ford or ferguson size lift arms mounted to the original drawbar brackets in rear position

i welded up a bracket mounted on the rockshaft, similar to an aftermarket kit still available

that puts the top link about 6" higher than standard thus changing geometry somewhat

i use a scraper blade, york rake, boom lift, etc.

most of the diggers i've seen use an upside down u-shaped tube connecting the two lower points

im worried with the offset pto, that the shaft may interfere with it

was wondering if you knew of one done like this

thanks, walt

The PTO is a standard 540 rpm pto used by almost every farm tractor 
(except for Farmall Cubs and later larger machines with 1000 rpm PTO's). 
And the offset should not be a problem either, as long as the angle 
isn't too severe.
