PWL216 889 #1 Posted May 1 Hi all. Are there different versions of the front hitch plate for C series tractors? I’m trying to install the front hitch plate that I believe came with the C105 tractor. The problem I’m having is that the bolt holes lineup, but the hole at the bottom of the hitch plate that sits over the front axle pin is off by about a half an inch. Are there different plates which plates or am I doing something wrong? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,506 #6 Posted May 1 That axle pin can move up and down based on the angle of the axle. Try lifting the tractor frame off the ground a little. We always install those while the axle has NO weight on it. Wheels on or off doesn't matter but the axle is hanging in the air. Put the axle pin in its hole FIRST. Then line up the holes of the frame. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,739 #7 Posted May 2 The axle hole in your tachmatic is badly wallowed out. How loose is the pivot pin itself??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
