As CNKS said, your solution for use of standard Category 1 3-point equipment is to attach the conversion bars to the equipment FIRST, prop them up parallel to the ground with a 2x4 on top of a cinder block (or whatever else is handy or turns your crank) and then BACK the tractor into them. Hop off and hook up the toplink, and you're ready to go. No cutting or welding is necessary, and it's certainly not desirable. The spacing of the fixed U-shaped hitch was set up to match the standard 26" Category 1 spacing. If the implement you're trying to use doesn't fit, it's not standard Category 1 equipment. Backing the tractor into the adapters beats the heck out of the 3-point system on the old Ford tractors where you end up wrestling with the implement, or the tractor, or both, while trying to get things to line up. If you need the bars for mating the 3-point equipment to the Fast Hitch, follow the link to find one supplier.
