I have a Ford 3600 which has Cat 1 pin balls in the arms.
I bought a 7' mower which has Cat 2 Pins / Top link. I'm only mowing weeds for a year or two while a pollinator field gets up and growing so I feel good about the size match up.
I also have a Harbor Freight Cat 1 to cat 2 Quick Hitch on it now but this can stay or go. While the QH takes Cat 2 pins, it's only set for the 28" cat 1 width.
I'm looking at the easiest way to convert the mower.
If I reverse one pin to the inside I'd get my 28" cat 1 spread but I'd need to rig up the top link to accommodate the offset. With this set up the PTO shaft will be offset by 6-10". Does this pose a problem or are the u-joints made for this angle?
I could swap out the Cat 2 Pins with Cat 1 Pins but I'm not sure the arms will open that wide. I guess I could put the Cat 1 Pins on the inside.
Any thoughts on this scenario? I'm sure I'm not the first to take this on.

Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
