Ok, so I didn't have pictures of my light bar yet, but I did have pictures of this thing I cobbled up.



It took me all of 30 minutes to do this. I used the boom off an engine lift, and my three point hitch adapter. I turned the hitch adapter backwards and put the two points in the lift arms. Next, I bolted the engine boom to the top point of the hitch adapter. My top link is pinned to the bolt hole at the end of the engine boom, and a chain is wrapped around the end of the ball hitch and connect to the pin through the boom / top link.

Don't be confused by all the other chain wrapped around the boom. I just had to get it tied up somehow. It's a 20' log chain. I only needed 2' of it.

To test it, I tried lifting my turning plow. It worked great!

Judging from the usual use of my FEL, that is going to be darn handy! Moving heavy things around is what tractors are good at! Great job!
