tallen4392 71 #1 Posted August 31, 2020 Stupid question but why does the bracket on the back of tractor that you can put a hitch ball into move left to right about 1 inch?? Is that how it was designed??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 28,221 #2 Posted August 31, 2020 Shouldn’t move side to side... does move up and down about an inch... Are you missing the 1” spacer on one side of the pin? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,905 #5 Posted September 1, 2020 That allows you to use a slot or clevis hitch and retain the drawbar. With no other hitch the spacers should be there. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 71 #6 Posted September 1, 2020 so my guess is it is normal to go left to right I took it off to paint it and now that it is cleaned and back on it moves like that my other tractor does not move like that because it is rusted in place just odd that it moves 1 inch side to side like that ...

tallen4392 71 #8 Posted September 1, 2020 That would be better I don’t like how it slides left to right and it rubs on the trans too bad setup I pull a small trailer but I use my other wheel horse that the hitch does not move rusted in place and I also use attachments with the hitch pin I think I will just take the hitch off this one and find a better solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 71 #9 Posted September 1, 2020 Or put some wider spacers on it so no side to side movement 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 28,221 #12 Posted September 1, 2020 The spacers do not seem large enough... No such movement on mine (and yes they are "free" and not rusted solid!)... I would just add spacer to both sides and call it a day... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
