Will this sleeve hitch fit my AC712? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2380790968&category=50377 It is listed on the eBay forum. Dan

My answer is NO [img]http://i21.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/58/ad/39_1_b.JPG[/img] It is not a sleeve hitch it is a drawbar with lift arm. You could use the lift arm with the correct locking collars but it is the old first style. The drawbar side stanchions are not made for the newer style seat/ fender pan mounts.

If you don't know what you are talking about don't steer someone else wrong

Thanx, Maynard! I will get in line with all the others that have benefited from your quick/accurate answers complete with drawings right from the book. I will find a sleeve hitch yet that both fits and that I can afford. What a great site this is! $10 is so well worth it! ! Dan

IronPony: As I understand it, a sleeve hitch will not do you much good unless you have the rear lift group as well. The light gray rod in ucd's picture above attaches to the rear lift. The rear lift can be used without the sleeve hitch if you have other attachments off the back of the tractor. You need both the rear lift and sleeve hitch to use any attachments that use the sleeve hitch. Rick.......

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
