:thumbs: I have a C-165/8 and there is this hitch type thing on the back. On the bottom it mounts on the same 3/4" pin that holds the drawbar, on the top it has a bracket that goes under the fuel tank. The lower side brackets are 5" at the widest part (top) with a 5/8" hole in them. There is a 1/2" plate welded between the two side brackets the top bracket is welded to this plate as well. The whole thing is welded one piece. The 1/2" plate is 2 1/2" deep. It sticks out app. 4" from the rear of the tractor and it comes up just under the fenders. It looks factory and very heavy duty. I would like to put a clevis hitch on this tractor, so I may need to make some adjustments so I can keep this on. It looks like a good place to maybe hang some suitcase weights on. Any ideas will help. thanks. I don't know how to put pictures on here yet so descriptions are all I can do at this point. Pat

:banghead: Thats it Terry, I figured someone would know. I am going to try to make some type of electric lift for the clevis hitch if I can I am going to use this mount. I guess it is a good place for suitcase weights huh? Pat

:banghead: Indy, I will take some pictures of my toy, when the missus gets home I will have her help me send them to you. Takin them is the easy part, putting them on the computer and sending is where I run into trouble. Actually, it starts with the computer Pat
