Hitch Pin Set-up
The lower 3-point hitch pins, upper center hitch pin, and
center bolt-on bushing can be arranged in the A-frame
hitch three different ways depending on user preference.
Standard 3-Point Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-3:
This is the most commonly used arrangement.
1. If desired for storage, bushing (#2) can be attached to
top holes in center clevis with 1"-8 GR5 bolt (#1), lock
washer (#3), and nut (#4). Tighten nut to the correct
torque.
2. Upper hitch pin (#6) is inserted in lower holes of
center clevis and secured with a hairpin cotter (#7).
(Hitch pin and hairpin cotter are customer supplied.)
3. The lower 3-point hitch pins (#5) are inserted in the
bottom holes of the lower clevises.
Special 3-Point Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-4:
This arrangement is used when the tractor’s lower
3-point arms will not go low enough.
1. Attach existing bushing (#2) to bottom holes in center
clevis with 1"-8 GR5 bolt (#1), lock washer (#3) and
nut (#4). Tighten nut to the correct torque.
2. Upper hitch pin (#6) is inserted in top holes of center
clevis and secured with a hairpin cotter (#7). (Hitch
pin and hairpin cotter are customer supplied.)
3. The lower 3-point hitch pins (#5) are inserted in the
top holes of the lower clevises.
Standard Quick Hitch Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-5:
This arrangement is used when hooking-up with a Quick
Hitch.
1. Attach existing bushing (#2) to bottom holes in center
clevis with 1"-8 GR5 bolt (#1), lock washer (#3) and
nut (#4). Tighten nut to the correct torque.
2. The lower 3-point hitch pins (#5) are inserted in the
upper holes of the lower 3-point clevises. Customer
supplied bushings (not shown) can be added to lower
3-point hitch pins (#5) when needed.
3. The upper hitch pin (not shown) is not required.
NOTE:
Upper bushing (#2) with mounting hardware
can be omitted with standard 3-point hook-up.

The driveline maximum length may
not be long enough for larger tractors to be quick
hitch compatible. Refer to
