HomeMade Quick Hitch hooks

[LD1]

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!!!

Here is a linc to Car Doc's thread where he bought the "real" ez-hitch from carter. It shows how they get installed. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/yanmar/224495-weld-quick-hitch-hooks.html

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:

Yea, I thought I'd put my own twist on them. Instead of just the bent washer, or smaller washer welded to big one, I thought this would help keep the wasker from flopping around as much and doesnt look as tacky.

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

Darn good job!

Thanks for all the compliments everyone

Well...I got around to installing them today.

The welder was at dads and I didt want to cart the tractor over there so that is why I said it would be a few weeks earlier. BUT, I just took the lower arms off and ran over there.

They work pretty good:thumbsup:

Nice work, and they look good too! That should help things hook up a lot easier.

That's very cool. Always on the arm, but out of the way in case you need to use the original mount holes. Very slick design. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the complement, but I must confess, it is not my design. It is made by carter and sons tool and die. I just copied the idea the best I could.

...Very slick design...

Original vendor is Carter's J-HOOK EZ hook if you can't /don't want to make your own set...

EDIT: See LD1 beat me too it

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

I made some slight modification to your plan and came up with this. I didn't want to weld it to my lift arm on my GC2400 Massey so I used 2" by 3" by 1/4" tubing so they are removable. You can find more pics of it here.
