Stan50 224 #1 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Last few days was very productive, I made clevis hitch along with rockshaft and other small pieces. I can't take credit of this version completely because I found many ideas on this forum . Unfortunately clevis hitch is not perfect, my tools are basic and mechanical skills too, but everything works well. I don't have any hitch attachements but that will probably change. I think about some kind of rakes and weeder/ cultivator. I don't need plow or tiller. Clevis hitch is slightly bigger, measurements are little bit different (slightly longer and wider at trans shaft) - I adjusted it to my homemade receiver hitch. Receiver hitch had to be improved too. Shaft is not moving (7/8- 22 mm diameter),secured to side plate by nut, washers and spring cotter pin. Other spring cotter pins secure moving arm at one side and shaft itself. That arm is moving freely Edited 3 hours ago by Stan50 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 13,011 #2 Posted 36 minutes ago Is there a bronze bushing in the arm? The OE version had the arm fixed to the shaft & there were bronze bushings in the tank upright. Excellent fabrication work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan50 224 #3 Posted 9 minutes ago @ri702bill No bushings, original shaft is probably 3/4"' OD with 2 brass? bushings but I used 7/8" ~ 22 mm rod, which is tight fit. Shaft itself is not moving-opposite to OE- but that arm (2 big nuts and 1/4 thick flatbar) is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
