You then select the tractor mounting kit depending on what make and model of tractor you want to mount on. Mine is a fast hitch model for a Super C and the arms are bent up about 2 feet back from where they insert into the fast hitch. The gearbox is what really makes it look like the Ottawa to me. The gearbox should have a round cast hole where a long handle inserts and I believe held in place with a set screw. That handle is used by the tractor operator to tilt the auger during transport and also to position it when drilling a post hole. You might have a tractor mounting kit on yours for something other then the tractor you have it presently mounted on and might have been modified some time ago by a PO. Good luck and they are certainly a good unit, Hal. P.S. I live over by Rolla, Missouri and have quite a bit of literature on these augers I would share with you if you are over this direction in your travels. [Reply]   [No Email]
