Posted it here because it's more of a tractor thing than implement; possibly could go under Using Your Tractor however.
Thought I did all the research and ordered a couple of quick hitches for my Ford 30-40 hp tractors. Got it all ordered and brain was still rolling.
Then comes the thought that the ones I ordered had a fixed 27 1/2 minimum pin-pin mounting dimension even though I wanted the fixed frame to assist in hookup alignment as the arms on the Fords just flop around without a stabilizer bar.
So I jump up and go out in the rain with my ruler and start measuring........oops, only one fits the criteria.
So back I come into the house and call the co. and tell them of my mistake. Guy said he got the order cancelled, but the charge was still pending on my bank account as of yesterday evening. However, it's a reputable company that I have dealt with for years and they make good on their sales.
So, I ordered the other type, twice the price, more functional however, that separately fit on each arm. This type has a separate, adjustable arm that linked the two sides and that's what I ordered.
The reason I posted this is a heads up for any of you that may be in the market for an easier way to hook up old iron, and if you are like me where one of your smaller tractors has had the arms replaced with Cat II you need to remember that and just put adapters on your Cat I arms.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
