D series Front hitch options?

Recommended Posts

BMW1

I would like to put a receiver hitch on the front of a 1973 18 automatic. 

Has anyone done this and can I see some pictures?

 

I've seen the hitches on ebay that are suppose to mount to the tach-a-matic but the pictures always show it on the newer wheel horses.  Will these work on the 1973 18 automatic?

 

Thank You.

I am by no means one of the experts that are on here, but I believe that your 18 auto won't have a front attachamatic which means that the hitches would not work. People have added front attachamatics to older wheel horses and I cannot foresee that being too difficult. Hope this helps.

Thank You.  Here are pictures of the front and the side.  Isn't this the attach-o-matic setup?

The frame rails (and hence the tachmatic) are farther apart on a D than on a regular horse.

I knew that there was some reason that it wouldn't work, I just couldn't remember. @pfrederi you hit the nail on the head with that answer.
