Eagle hitch

T Whalen · Feb 5, 2014

Can anyone out there tell me what the distance is center of hole to center of claw on a Case vac 13 I don't have arms for this tractor and have been looking at regular 3 point arms but don't know what length to buy/make

I have one but it is too cold to go to the shop
and measure at this moment. If you would be
interested, it is for sale. I will be glad to
give you the measurement when it warms a little.

Sounds good don't blame you no fun working in the cold I never thought I would say it but I sure get the bug to move when it gets -30 up here Im still below 40 and already have arthritis in my hands bad enough I try to stay in most of the winter

Center of pivot to center of hitch pin is 25 1/4". Did not measure the lift link holes, but if you need that I can get it for you. Lee

Don't know off the top of my head but I did add 3" (drill stem was a match) to the ones on my '51 VAC (needed to be able to swing 7' blade 180°) 8)

Thanks vac lee. I could use the measurements from the tractor end. pin center of the lift arm to the center of the first and center of the second holes on the lift arm going towards the eagle claw. I also need the height of the strip of steel welded to the top of lift arms for the leveling links. I would appreciate any measurements you could give me. T.W.

I don't have measurements handy either, but the VAC Eagle lift arms are a lot shorter than, say, 6-800 series Ford lift arms. But the attachment points are in different spots too. I will try to remember to get some measurements. Be advised the Eagle hitch geometry differs from the standard 3 pt. Width may be okay, but lift is a lot different. The Eagle tends to have a lot less lift height unless you move the top link attachment point.

The Case board here is the place to ask this.

The lift link holes are 11 1/2" and 15 1/2" from the center of the pivot. They are 1 1/4" to center from the arm. The arm is 2 3/8" OD. If you are going to make them as original with pipe I probably can remove a couple of the brackets with the lift holes if that would help. I have some arms that are not worth trying to repair.
