In Reply to: Front Hitch for H posted by Doug Kieta on January 18, 2011 at 11:56:23:
As I read your post, I think you"re talking about putting the hitch ahead of and between the front tires. I think that will cause some problems. I have hitches on the front of my H, M, and SM Farmalls that have been used to push wagons into the barn and for various other tasks. Each was made from a drawbar extension plate that was designed for a Farmall B. The holes in the plate exactly line up with the holes in the lower front of the UPPER bolster, ahead of the bolts that attach the lower bolster section holding the front wheels. This allows for considerably less strain than mounting the hitch down where the wheels are. My hitch plates have been heated with a torch and bent down in the front so they are at approximately the same angle as the wagon tongue raised to that height. Many years of use have given no problems. If you mount a hitch at the tire level, be very gentle with it.
