The 1947 JD A is a good tractor, however several changes were made in 1947. What is the serial number? JD did not offer three point hitches with the 1947 A. Starting in 1949 JD offered what are known as Yakima Hitches which required proprietary implements and then in late 1953 JD offered 800 Series Hitches to be used with the 50, 60, 70 and late G series tractors. These hitches can be used on A's and B's with the new style drawbar frame as long as certain restrictions are observed and lived with. Neither the Yakima Hitches or the 800 Sseries Hitches were conventional three point hitches as we know them today, however conventional three point implements can be used with the 800 series hitches, with either a JD Mast bracket or a slight change to the 800 hitch configuration.

There are several aftermarket three point hitch manufacturers currently producing three point hitches with the most often recommendaed one manufactured by Saginaw in Michigan.

Just keep in mind that none of the above hitches will provide hydraulic draft sensing however the 801 version of the 800 series hitches does provide some mechanical draft sensing capability.

Thanks for your info. I found the tractor in an old barn . the current owners brother bought it in 1950. its not in bad shape it also has a cultivator ,disc , and plow.I picked it up for a pretty resonable price i didn't want to pass it up. My dad got it running and it seems to be mechanicaly sound the serial # is 589899. Mark

Ok, actually you have a 1948 model year A which was probabably made and delivered in late 1947. I own a 1947 AN with an 800 series hitch on it. Handles it fine.

I would be interested in seeing pictures of your A and the implements too.
