Torch Cart Mounts on Tractor 3-Pt FARM SHOP Welders/Torches (64) 12-3-10 "Several neighboring farmers built their own torch cart after seeing mine," says Bill Short, Hamilton, Mo., who came up with a nifty oxy-acetylene torch cart that's fitted with 3-pt. attachments for easy transport to the field for emergency repairs.
Short built the heavy-duty hand cart using salvaged steel he had around the farm. The cart is 20 in. wide and 39 in. high with big 12-in. tires. Tanks rest on a base made of 6 by 4-in. angle iron. There's a tray on the back of the cart for tools and a storage box for torch accessories.
The lower 3-pt. hitch connections consist of a 2 by 2 by 1/4-in. piece of angle iron, 34 in. long. It's bent to a standard 26-in. width for Cat. I or II lift pins. The top link connection is an 8-in. long piece of 2 by 1/2-in. flat iron that's bent into a "U" shape and drilled to receive the top link. A wrap-around chain holds the tanks in place.
