Clevis hitch for 312-8

[psychocontractorguy 12]

Well, I just got some ag tires for my 312-8, so I'm a third of the way to plowing with this baby. All I need now is a set of wheel weights.........and the elusive clevis hitch.

 

I've been looking on eBay for awhile now, and I can't seem to find one. This being the case, I'd like to make one.

 

The actual hitch part is pretty easy, but I don't know how the linkage works. So does anyone have a photo of how all this works?

 

Thanks!

Here is a Clevis hitch...some call it a sleeve hitch.  These are all over Ebay for a C note on up.

Will try a send on this file from one of the members on her, wish had attached his name to give him the credit and it may be in manuals, don't rem. (1st attch drawing, 2nd manual with pics)

Here is a pic of my C-101 with a clevis hitch. The clevis hitch is connected to the center pin on the rock shaft with a chain. The lift cable is connected to the lower pin on the rock shaft. Without rock shaft, lift cable would be connected directly to the clevis hitch.

Those attachments help a lot. Thanks!

It appears that the linkage from the hitch to the lift lever is more complicated than what I thought......this'll require a bit more research.
