What kinda hitch is this

Hi
I have a '41 SC with a goofy hitch. I would like to know if it is a factory case unit or an aftermarket piece. A short description; bottom link is a piece of 1' steel bent in an inverted u about 36' between flattened ends. the ends are bored to around 1' to 1 and a quarter to accept an implement. Lift is accomplished by an arm that is driven by the transmission operated lift. Two quadrent levers are attached to the unit, and as the hitch is operated, the levers raise past the operators seat, and in my opinion pose a safety hazzard. (I discovered this when towing the tractor and moved the wrong control, the levers scared the $%*@ out of me, and almost caught my arm between the fenders.) Thanks for any ideas. B.T.W. it was verified that it is not an Eagle hitch.

I didn't think the 41s came with a motor lift. I thought it was something they came out with around the mid-late 40s, and was replaced circa 1952 by the eagle hitch (I could easily be wrong on that).

THe motor lift is pretty powerful. We adapted ours to a 3 pt hitch. It's turned into a pretty handy little tractor.

What you have is precursor to the Eagle Hitch System. The mechanism around the PTO assembly is called a motor lift and the U shaped thing is called a lifting bail. This was CASE'S first attempt to put a lift system for cultvators and
othe implements on their tractors. It was supeseded by a hydraulic lifting bail; my dad's 1949 DC is set up with that but my own 1949 DC
has the motor lift. I'd like to find a corn planter or a cultivator to mount on either one.

Thanks. As this is a very early SC I also want to know if it is historically important to retain it on the tractor. If not, i would be willing to part with it (once the 4 feet of snow melts from around it) as I feel that is dangerous for a "retired" parade tractor.

Take the PTO out of gear and the motor lift won't work. Then you don't hafta worry about the levers going up and down. As for being dangerous, yeah most all farm equipment is! If your gonna take off the lift you should also maybe add a roll bar and a seat belt . And if its a tricycle SC (most were) just cut it up for scrap, cause those trikes were all dangerous.

Right-on Klyde. Don't forget a OSHA approved crash-helmet! Cliff.
