Howdy all!

I got tired of fighting with my rake when hitching it up, so I added a leg to hold the 3pt end off the ground. Works pretty good.

Ignore the crappy welding...I was in a hurry and it was CcccCccOLD!:sorry:

But the idea works. :tiphat:

That's a good idea and pretty quick to install.

As long as a weld 'holds' it doesn't matter to the steel if it's pretty or not. I sometimes cover my "not so pretty" welding with paint-able caulking, smooth it out with my finger, and spray on a liberal coating of primer. :hide: If any one comments about my welding, I might even go as far to say "the dog bumped me a couple times" while I was doin' this, :hide2:

Next time you're up in the People's Republic of Taxachusetts... could you stop by and do one up for me? :mrgreen:

Of course, Dougster...as I remember, you have the welder already.:poke: :smartass:

You know, I have never been up there. I went to DC as a kid, and flew through Pittsburgh on the way overseas a time or tow, but I've never seen your part of the country. People would probably stare at me.
