cafoose 3,354 #1 Posted June 3, 2021 Just installed my new hitch on my 876 I got off eBay I had to remove the slot hitch but the pin was easy no tools required except snap ring pliers because of rebuilding the differential recently Now I can swap balls easily May take longer to get there but I can save gas on long trips Watch out for the stops though 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm well aware of that and will only go slowly on flat ground mainly to go from point A to point B especially in tight spots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the process of building a very HD version of the same type. The only downside to mine is that the square for the ball mount is the wrong size. My 2" ball mounts flop all around in there. It..... Works.... I found if I'm careful to keep the hitch end heavy it moves much less. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
