[QUOTE="MudHog, post: 1260166, member: 21686"] Here is one my dad had made back around 2002. I added the gooseneck ball last year and yeasterday I added the lower receiver tube for the cargo carrier. The tubing my dad used isn't a 2" ID so a regular hitch doesn't fit in. I'll use the lower tube for the cargo carrier which will hold my 25G tank sprayer. Bought the carrier from Harbor Freight for $65 less a 20% coupon. I was going to build one, but I cannot build one myself for that price. The carrier is rated for 500 lbs too, which is plenty for 25 gallons of water. This hitch stays on the tractor probably 75% of the year and now I don't have to take it off to put the forks on for the sprayer. My grandfather made one years ago for his old Jubilee that used a lift arm drawbar. He took a piece of angle and bent the ends to bolt it to the drawbar and pin it at the 3rd point. The angle is simply there to stop the drawbar from wanting to twist in the lift arms. The disadvantage to this one is very limited lifting height as the 3rd point is at an angle to the one side and not centered. I'll try to get a picture of it this evening.
