RE: (ET) tillers, again!

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

Look at http://www.elec-trak.org/memorbilia/GEAccessoryBrochure/4_JPG.html.

The 5/8" diameter rod running the width of the tractor is a tool bar.  It
bolts to the drawbar at both sides.  It also bolts to clamps on both sides
of the axle.  The tiller mounts to the toolbar.  You can conviently slide
the tiller to one side to cultivate.  If the batteries had more umph, I
would lengthen the toolbar and mount 2 (!) tillers side by side to till 64"
wide.  I would triple back the lift strap, and put 3 more batteries in the
weight-box and put it up front.  That would be a tiller!

Yes, I have made 2 different cat-'0' 3-point hitches.  One was literally
some bracket on a Sears hitch.  The other is a mod to the 'Sleeve-Hitch'
(picture next to the tiller at the link).  I used the electric lift for the
second, the Sears mechanical lift for  the first.  Yes, I have pictures.

So are we sick of tiller questions yet?
I have mine mounted with hitch pins to the draw bar, is that correct? Also 
on the draw bar are two bolted brackets of some sort. What are these used 
for?
Has anyone made use of the draw bar as a sort of 3 point hitch?
Thanks
