Sleeve Hitch for older Wheel Horse (\'73 104)

I have a 1973 Mod 104 Wheel Horse 10 Auto. I need to install a sleeve hitch on it and have been looking for one. the tractor has a clevis comming out the rear that will raise and lower an emplement with the lift lever, but there is no hitch of any kind on the back of the tractor. TSC sells one and Lowe's sells one, and wondering if any one has tried one of these. They don't have one in stock, so I can't look and measure, or see how they mount.

If you have a complete model number, try this parts finder on the Toro website:
Partsfinder
I can regularly get parts for an '85 Wheelhorse, maybe they'll go back to '73.

By the way, at least on all the WH's I've had, the attaching method may vary depending on the implement you are using - some attach to a forked hitch attachment while others attach by way of two clamps around the rear axle halves. The attachments that use the clevis (tiller, in my case) use the two clamp method.

Hope this helps.

Thanks renz, that gives me some idea of what to look for. I called the dealer in town, and they only list a rear hitch that cost $18 that fits my model number. Doesn't sound like much for that price. I have a single bottom plow, blade, and a set of harrows all set up for a sleeve hitch, and thought I'd give them a try. Maybe I'll see what the Lowe's one looks like....
