lynnmor 7,268 #2 Posted May 2, 2020 I think it is pretty much the same as what everyone is using. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvhunter 88 #3 Posted May 2, 2020 I hope so,it looks kind of big for the tractor.thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvhunter 88 #4 Posted May 2, 2020 I think that it can be adjusted, like lowering the front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,743 #5 Posted May 2, 2020 You'll need this CLEVIS hitch... some call it a SLEEVE hitch. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,342 #6 Posted May 2, 2020 I can’t tell, but that looks like a 10” plow at the max. Hot Wheels my 953 is a 12 hp and Putt Putt my customized 502 is only 8 hp. They both pull a 10” plow. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvhunter 88 #7 Posted May 2, 2020 do you think I can hook it up the way it is? looks like it sets high in the front to me.thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,342 #8 Posted May 2, 2020 You’ll have to set up the plow for the tractor, but it’s adjustable. Check out the Brinly plow manual. It is a bit of a read, but well worth it. here’s a thread in our instructions section.., it goes over a thing or two! Rolling dirt 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, I just received this hitch. is there anything else needed to hook it up? Like cables chains etc. New to all of this but find it interesting and I'm kind of handy. My tractor is the 74 b-100 has a 14 hp engine not sure if that is original but it looks like. Would be grateful for any info. Edited May 2, 2020 by jshort didn't check the notify box, just in case.

wvhunter 88 #10 Posted May 2, 2020 I think you will need a rock shaft kit also, I am new to this also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,743 #11 Posted May 2, 2020 You need the CLEVIS HITCH shown in this schematic...EXCEPT for item # 2, 22, as they are for aAUTOMATIC tractors...yours is manual. Look and see if you already have # 21...the cable tube. It'll be under the seat...on top or the transmission case. You can buy MOST of these parts here: https://www.psep1.biz/arinet.asp?aribrand=TO#/s/TO/85518//1/ Lowell at WHEELPARTSANDMORE will probably also have what you need at much better price. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #12 Posted May 3, 2020 @wvhunter, if you don't already have you will need a lift cable and rockshaft kit along with a clevis hitch like this https://www.wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/hitches-liftkits.html#!/Toro-Wheel-horse-Rock-shaft-kit-man-trans-short-clevis-READ-DESCRIPTION-w-Tube/p/84960096/category=23548047 and https://www.wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/hitches-liftkits.html#!/Toro-Wheel-Horse-Brinly-Clevis-Hitch-Sleeve-Hitch/p/84960065/category=23548047... And that Craftsman plow is just a rebranded Brinly 10" and it is adjusted with that top handle after its hitched to your tractor. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
