Pittsburg Carry-Lift

Here's what I'm talking about:
http://www.tm-tractor.com/gbrochures/carrylift2.htm

I found a NOS one this weekend still bundled together. I know Tm's page shows they have different part numbers, I was just wondering if the carry-all part itself was the same. The guy who has it says it's for a Super A, but I figured they might be the same, just different lift points. Could be for a cub, I'll have to take TM's pictures when I go back.
 
Thats a pretty good picture to go by if you were inclined to build it yourself. It looks pretty simple and staight forward, hows your welding skills?
Mike.
 
Thanks for the lesson.

That would not be difficult to fabricate, just a bunch of angle iron welded together.
Brandon, If you can get your hands on one, take a long weekend and pay me a visit.
We will build 2 of them just like the original.

One for you and one for me! :{_}:

Good luck with it.

Hey Gary!

Here is a drawing and some pictures from our very own Kodiak for his "Kodiak Carry All"... I am sure that using the information in this link, you could fab something up right quick. I, on the other hand, do NOT have any welding skills whatsoever, but would love to learn...too bad we are so far apart!

but the lift mechanism shown in the picture will not lift it

John, I think it's just abit of a bad picture. The Pittsburg center lift arm attaches to the cubs back center lift arm(not the t/c rod like it appears) I think it's just because they have the cub silouette faded so much and you can't see the actual hookup.

If any of you guys decide to build one that would work on a fast-hitch, please let me know. I want one. :P
 
Any way to use aluminum and cut the weight in 1/2? Less weight would keep the front end on the ground and allow more carry-capacity.

Aluminum would not be a problem (provided you have the right welding equipment--a heliarc machine. I don't have one.)
It would also cost twice as much.

Good luck.
 
here is a variation of the carryall that does not use the existing drawbar. 500 lb payload is about the max lift you can get out of the hydraulics, and at that load, 2 sets of front wheel weights are needed.

anyone local who would like to check it out or measure it is welcome to.
 
dad has a pittsburg carry all in 3 pt. ,its decent but it isnt as heavy duty as the one he built from 3 1/2 '' angle . that one with the railing almost carries a full cord of fire wood behinf the international b 275 .
 
Brandon,
I just ran across your post. I'll snap some pics as soon as I can. If I don't work tonight I'll try to snap a few shots and give a few measurements. I've got a feeling they are different units. Looks like PBT-11 for the super A and PBT-14 for the Cub.
 
Brandon, I was hoping Chris would see this. The measurement of his frame and his pix should pretty much give you an idea if the one you found will work.

Mike, you'd be suprized at the skills that you have that you don't know about.
I'm not going to say I'm a welder, but I've made some really nice looking and strong welds. I believe you can too.
Ever tried using a wire feed welder? They are really easy. I picked up a Lincoln Electric Handy welder. Got mine new off e-bay for $160, Sears sells them for about $200. It uses flux core wire and doesn't need gas.
While gas provides a shield for the spark that makes for a really clean weld, the slag that you get without using gas is easily wire brushed off. At first your welds won't be pretty but a die grinder with a sanding disc will clean it right up and people think your a pro. :lol:
The more you use it the better your welds get and some people see the ones I do now and say "wow, I didn't know you could weld". :roll: :lol: I just smile cause out of respect to the real welders out there I'm not going to say I'm one too, but I am having fun! Really, consider getting one, it is fun!
Thanks by the way for pointing out that Kodiak hauler. I've been thinking of building something like that. Now I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I do think that the three fastener bolts to the lifting arm and drawbar could be replaced with clevis pins to make it a snap to take on and off. :wink: Oh wait spoke too soon, Though its bolted in the first photo, there are brackets and clevis pins in another.
Mike.
