Oliver 3-point for 88

The Power Traction Hitch was marketed toward the Oliver 770 and 880's and it was the only tractor that had the flat bolt on area below the bell housing. One of the areas they must attach to the tractor. The 660 didn't have this feature.

The first CAT 1 3-point hitch was marketed to the 66's and 77's for light to medium duty work. This hitch changed it looks slightly but the over all look stayed the same. It was later marketed with the Super 66, Super 77 and the 660. There was a second beefier hitch that was marketed for the 77 and 88 with medium to heavy duty work. It may have been both CAT 1 and CAT 2, I'm not sure.

All are very difficult to find and can be costly. Post an add in the classifieds to see if someone has an original for sale. Beware of the folks that have no idea what a factory hitch looks like and will sell you one that came off an Oliver so it must be. Get pictures first and possibly part numbers to cross reference. Others have bought and used after- market 3-points with varing success. Not to mention they look weird.

I can get some pictures of each and e-mail them if you drop me your e-mail.

You have to have hydraulics to make it drive the cylinder that moves the arms for your attached implements to move up and down.

I hope this helps.
