I have 2 of the PP-500 sleeve hitch plows and one PP-1200 3-point plow. 3 of my tractors have a 3-point hitch, so I decided to convert one 10" plow to fit the 3-point mast of the 12". Later on, I will build another mast. But for now, I can just take the u-bolts off and use which ever I choose.

Here's a pic of the two I painted last year.

 

I started by getting a measurement and angle for the plate to attach to the mast. Using the 12" beam as a guide, I found the back side of the mounting plate was 2" forward of the front coulter mount hole and at a 10° angle. I then took the 10" beam off and the adjuster apart as I plan to paint this also.

 

Here's the beam.

 

Here's the layout for the cut.

 

I set the band saw at 10° and made the cut.

   

 

Here I have set up to weld the plate at that cut.

 

And after welding.

 

This is the plate layout.

 

I was able to wire brush the parts and get a coat of Rust Reformer on there before coming in yesterday. Hope to get some White on the beam and the Galvenized on the adjuster parts today!

 

I found an error in the plate layout from my original plans uploaded here, so I have edited it.

Good looking project.  Are you going to be able to adjust the 3 point enough so the plow runs vertical with the right rear of the tractor in the furrow?  Looks like you have the plow mounted square on the 3 point.  Or am I missing something?

Looking good Kenny, are you going to put a wheel on it?

I believe the 10* tip is accomplished on the three point A frame with pin location

The 3-point mast has the angle built in to it.

I may have to add one at some point.

Yes I believe it does.

 

A wheel like Olcowhand makes would do it.

Looks good Kenny. Did you add the wheel to your's or is that how it came.I was thinking of adding the wheel to mine but not sure if its really nessesary. I do have a different one with a wheel.Its a old single furrow horse plough that I converted to 3 PTH.

The 12" came with the wheel. The wheel on the 10" is from olcowhand.

Hi I've thought about using a horse plow and converting it to 3 pt, how is yours working out, do you have any photos of it?

Thanks

I squirted a little paint on it this afternoon. Fired up the wood heater to get the chill off things.

   

 

I did put a coat of Rustoleum self-etching primer on first. Should last a little while!

I just got a mental picture of Kenny using a squeeze bottle to "squirt" on paint!

Well, I nearly had to squeeze the cans to get the paint to come out!
