Clevis/slot hitch adapter position

[Fun Engineer 859]

So what's the correct way to install this in the slot hitch?

#1 looks right to me but I've never used one. 

This way?  #1

 

Or #2

Door number 1

Number 2, There is a angle piece you may not have.

 

Borrowed one of Wheelhorseman1000's pics.

Looks to me like it would depend on where you want your hitch height.

That particular hitch you have needs to have the bolts on top and yes you need that piece pictured in ol550's picture the stops the implement ie.. Brinly plow from swaying back and forth,, and keeps it straight,, if you dont have it your plow will not function properly .. Example it will not turn soil properly and may rise up out of the dirt because the plow share will not be flat and will either dig to deep or not deep enough..hope that helps..

I have the part. 

just needed to know the proper orientation of the hitch. If it's installed as Phatboy and Shynon suggests, the metal angle sits awkward on the angled hitch gusset. It sits flat if installed as in photo #2. But without the metal angle it "looks" correct in photo #1 with bolts up. 

Thanks everyone for your help.

It goes flat side up.

 

 

By the way... the adapter is a Brinly HH-180... it's in the manuals. I scanned it years ago from an NOS one I have.

Thanks Casual. I didn't think of looking in the manuals section.  I'll have to make a copy. Interesting that it is installed differently from a Ford or Jacobson.
