BMW1 42 #1 Posted August 3, 2016 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.

BenTheWheelHorseMan 43 #2 Posted August 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMW1 42 #3 Posted August 5, 2016 Thank You. Here are pictures of the front and the side. Isn't this the attach-o-matic setup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #4 Posted August 5, 2016 The frame rails (and hence the tachmatic) are farther apart on a D than on a regular horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenTheWheelHorseMan 43 #5 Posted August 6, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
