I can never remember to take photos of this hitch outdoors so we took photos indoors in the dark for now and I will post better ones at a later time.
Tractor is a 1952 Case D that my family bought used in 1970 approx. At that time it had a eagle hitch but a aftermarket hitch was found and purchased and installed and has been in use since then.
The after market hitch is believed to be Stockyon brand and as you can see, the lower arms swing and are held in place by out side sway braces with turn buckles for fine adjustment. Lift arms have cat 1 and 2 sized holes.
Also are photos of the upgraded top link bracket that mounts with 6 bolts and has not failed in 50 years of service.
With 300 lbs of counterweight up front, steering is difficult when orchard flail is on the ground, but fingertip easy when flail is raised for turning at each row.
