HomeMade Quick Hitch hooks

[LD1]

Thought I'd make me some quick hitch hooks like the carter EZ-hitch ones:thumbsup: Seems every one likes them that has them. And my implements have just gotten too heave for me to want to wrestle around. A 700lb blade and an 1050lb bushhog arent fun to hook up.

Here is Where I am currently. Had a peice of 1" x 4" x 12" steel. I have got the slots milled currently.:thumbsup:

Back to work on them:confused2:

More pics as we go.

Got the holes drilled, and rough cut. Just need to do the beveling

Finished product. Now all I need are some 3/16 cotter keys or 3/16 lynch pins. I havent decided yet:confused2:

Nice workmanship. I am not familar with that type of quick hitch. How do they fasten to the lift arms.

It will probabally be a couple of weeks before I get them mounted. And then who knows how I may have to modify the blade since it is a cat II with pins turned in.

I am working on the washers now and will post some pics when I get them done.

They get welded on-top of the lift arm, just above the lower-link.

As promised. Heres my take on the washer things to keep the implement on.

The washers look nice too!!!:thumbsup:

I didn't understand how they would fasten to the lift arms either... But I do now!

I think that's a great idea!!!... Very simple and they should work great!

Again, Nice job!!!

I dig the washers. I just bought a Pat's Easy Change and it came with 3 sets of their washers, but I like yours better. Guess it's off to the shop to go make some. :thumbsup:
