Can we assume your dad has a Ford 800 series tractor????? Or is it a Case 800 series? Or is it some other brand???? Anyhow, most all tractors have the option to have a straight, or swinging, drawbar. This is a bar of metal attached to the underside of the tranny & has a hole in it to hitch implememts to. Some tractors were sold without, or the hitch & brackets were removed, but the mounting holes should be there, & you can get the parts from a dealer; tractor supply place; or a salvage (tractor junk) yard. You simpley bolt a ball onto this bar to have a ball hitch. You can also buy or weld up your own reciever 3pt hitch if your tractor has a 3pt. I think an example is on a link in a previous reply. As to the 'class' of implement hitch, you are pobably asking about the catagory of 3pt hitch???? They range from Cat 0, which is a non-standard garden tractor size, up to cat 4, which is for 300+ hp 4wd giant tractors. Most older farm tractors under 65 hp are catagory 1 3pt hitch, which is 26" between the arms. The bigger, heavier, & more hp an implement requires, the higher catagory hitch is required. Generally the space between pins increases, and the size of the pins increase. Without knowing the brand of your tractor, I would want to guess you have a catagory 1 3pt hitch, but that is _only_ a guess. If your tractor is a bit bigger, it could be cat 2.... --->Paul
