Tip, so you don't bend your sleeve hitch!

[Guest]

Hi, I just learned how important it is to engage the clips on your rear pins "ALL the way". I just mounted my Mold Plow on my tractor and did not put the clips all the way through my "old style sleeve hitch". Well I lost one tonight while plowing and I bent my sleeve hitch. Fortunately, I had two and I'm back in biz for tonight. I was planning on cutting the second one to fit Brinly implements; I'm going to have to find an anvil before I go and do that! So the moral is, put your clips all the way threw! Note: I lost a pin and clip on my grader blade earlier and I wasn't wise enough after that! I am sure if I didn't catch this early, I'd had a problem with my grader blade mount too!

Attention to details always keeps me smiling. Thanks for the reminder, Mike!!

I put my pins in from the inside so that if they rotate, they will not push the pins out or bend them. I have had more than one set bent because of the pin rotating. Dan

(Thanks all) PeppyDan, nice job on the 48" deck you are selling. If I didn't have so many decks and the distance, I'd buy it! The work it takes to fix those up is worth it to buy it restored at that price.
