Robert K 37 #1 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Wasn't sure where to ask this. Its wheel horse related so here I go. Going to make a clevis hitch and had a question about how much abuse the attachment point on the rear of the transmission can take. Anyone ever heard of snapping it off or cracking? Will be running farmers with 85 pound wheel weights. Edited October 11, 2019 by Robert K Wrong picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,263 #2 Posted October 11, 2019 That's a pretty rugged point if attachment. Perhaps some of the plow dogs could chime in. @WHX24 @Achto @PeacemakerJackerJack Gotta say I love those wheel weights. What are they off of?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,642 #3 Posted October 11, 2019 It has happen, don't know how they did it. My guess is with a chain and a running start before the chain got tight. I don't think the 85# wheel weights and a moldboard plow will do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be running farmers with 85 pound wheel weights. I have had a rear clevis hitch on 1 or the other of my 520s for past 20 years and had a trailer pin hitch adapter made for it to pull my 17cuft wagon over full of sand/gravel and moldboard plowing plus heavy Brinly style box blade repairing 1/4 mile dirt/gravel driveway for many years not broken yet and I'm not easy on my equipment.... You may want to visit here before building your hitch... https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/hitches-liftkits.html ... He has every thing you need the clevis hitch rockshaft cable and guide tube.... I just checked out your other posts with the 3pt rear attachment and 12v linear actuator... Just throwing you out another idea ... Make a clevis hitch adapter for you 3pt and no need to make it like the factory version. Edited October 11, 2019 by WVHillbilly520H 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picked them up for $50.00 on a local FB sales site. Fella said they was off a Cub Cadet. Outer diameter is slightly larger than my wheel so they do not seat quite right. The brand of the weights are Rowe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the 85# wheel weights and a moldboard plow will do it. I figured it would take a lot of punishment. Just not sure how much. Im not telling you guys anything but this thing really pulls. My mount I made for the category 0 3 point is holding up great. The David Bradley/Sears 3 point set up is not doing so well. I have even managed to twist the framing on the plow its self. And broke the top link clevis 2 times. And the draw bar is not faring any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
