6. Assemble either a clevis hitch (Figure 2) or a pintle hitch (Figure 3) as required by the tractor
or towing vehicle. Note the opposite orientation of the base hitch for each hitch type. Attach
the hitch assembly to the A-frame with two 1” x 6 ½” bolts and locking nuts.
Note: Parts have been provided to assemble a clevis hitch or a pintle hitch. Not all the included
parts will be needed to assemble either type of hitch. Be sure to store the extra parts in a safe
place; they will be needed if one requires the use of the other hitch type.
Note: For clarity purposes, the rest of the diagrams will be shown without the main axles and rims.
