I want to build a Brinly-type hitch adapter for my narrow frame Cubs. I found design plans from Steve Spencer on the hitch and receive the lift strap dimensions from Charlie Proctor. I question Steve’s dimension for the width as he has 9.50 – using .38 inch steel that would mean that the lower hitch bracket on the tractor itself would have to be smaller than 8.75 – I measured mine at around 9.06 to 9.10. I made a drawing using some of Steve’s design (okay, most of Steve’s design) and Charlie’s lift strap measurements. I changed the 9.50 dimension from Steve’s to 9.88 (I’m thinking about increasing this also).
Unfortunately my design plan is in the pdf format and is 111KB, so I can’t attach them here (too big). I want to get some feedback, and this might benefit anyone else who wants to build one. So……
