I recently purchased a 1967 case 731 diesel tractor. It had the original hitch removed at some point and a bucket put on the front.
Now that I have it I want to get it set up with a three point but can't seem to find any information anywhere.
So what I'm looking for is a three point hitch to put on my tractor.
I'm pretty sure you don't just buy one at the store and slap it on in five minutes, so I guess I'm looking for some plans to make one up for my rig.
Sorry if these are bad questions but I am new to the world of tractors.
1. What parts do you need for a project like this?
2. I think it had a category two hitch when it was built. Would it be a bad idea to move down to a category 1 hitch(I see a lot more category 1 implements locally)?
3. Can I use a category 1 implement on a category 2 hitch?
4. Will my tractor have draft control if I put a three point on it(I may want to use it to plow later and I've heard it's very good to have)?
What do you guys think?
Thanks for any and all help you may be able to give.
