Receiver Hitch Bolted To Tractor Drawbar, 3-Pt. Hitch

Receiver Hitch Bolted To Tractor Drawbar 3-Pt Hitch “I thought it would be neat to have a receiver hitch on my tractor so I adapted one to fit onto my tractor’s drawbar and 3-pt top link It works great ” says Justin Draney Auburn Wyo He used a cutting torch to widen out the holes in the hitch then flipped the hitch upside down and matched the holes on the drawbar to the enlarged holes He also bolted a 3-ft length of 3-in tubing on back of the hitch and fastened it to the 3-pt top link “I use it on my Allis Chalmers WD tractor which is equipped with a homemade 3-pt hitch and a Cat II drawbar ” says Draney “The tractor’s original 3-pt hitch came only with ‘hydraulic up’ whereas the homemade one operates hydraulically both up and down It comes in handy when I’m pulling a blade behind the tractor to dig into dirt or snow because I can push the blade down into the ground and do a good job “My dad donated the receiver hitch to help make my idea come to life I left the trailer tow chain safety hook on the hitch in case I ever want to use it while pulling a wagon If I need to use the drawbar again I can just unbolt the receiver hitch from the drawbar “The tubing that I used happened to be just the right size to slide over the hitch It’s thin wall tubing but that’s okay because the pressure is on the drawbar and not on the hitch ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Justin Draney P O Box 72 Auburn Wyo 83111 ph 307 248-0885; just mo even@gmail com
