A little less work is to purchase Ford type lift arms from you local farm store and a matching Ford type drawbar (the type that fits between the lift arms.) You basically reverse this set up by bolting or clamping the Ford draw bar to you WD draw bar and extending the lift arms towards the rear of the tractor. All you need then is some linkage between those lift arms and your regular WD lift arms. You can go fancy and purchase adjustable linkage or simply use old pieces of iron. You don't really need a top link for the bush hog as this set up will alow you to adjust cutting height and still transport on the bush hog wheel or wheels. If you have the quick coupler latches for your WD the top of store bought lift linkages have to be modified a bit as they are too deep and prevent proper lifting action. This type set up will get you in operation. Just remember it's a little loosey goosey and a lot of backing up will result in bent lift arms. However, it's as good as the three point snap coupler adaptors that AC sold.
