JD rotary broom on CCC 3185
 

Finely got my broom setup complete. I didn't do it all my self, I had a local welder help. The PTO knuckle being 1/8 of an inch too long was the largest setback. Thanks to those who helped on that thread. Used for some detaching and gravel removal from my parents lawn.

I had 200 lbs of cast iron on the 3 pt, but that wasn't enough. Needed another.

It's a JD 60in HD broom. The 55 inch would have been lighter, probably better in that regards. But the 60 in comes in yellow paint not green, so that's way better.

Ended up buying a new PTO knuckle Weasler 105-0615 to replace the JD one that was 1/8 inch too long.

Let me know if you have questions.

This is so cool how long did it take to get it ready for use?

It took a few months. The broom came with an A frame quick tach for front 3pt hitch. The black part with the galvanized bolt sticking up is a deere part. The rest I had welded by a neighbor who owns the local welding shop. It oscillates coaxial with the pto shaft. That way it follows the contour of the land.

BTW welcome. I see it's your first post and go Minnesota.
