Need help connecting an 80R mower to a WD45

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Picked up an 80R mower this summer and am just getting around to trying to put it on the WD45.  I thought it was pretty evident until I started to connect the unit under the tractor and it doesn't fit like I imagined.  The bracket in the picture below, does not fit on the outside of the brackets on the tractor, but does fit inside.  I can't imagine it just hangs on the drawbar pins, and the rod shown in the picture is too short to go all the way through the bracket on the tractor.  I have about any manual on CA attachments but not much on the WD45.I take it the bracket faces back toward the mower like shown, but how does it mount up  to the tractor?

	I figured it out, with some help from Lad and looked at the parts catalog and saw 3 separate hitches, WD&WD45, D14-15&17, and one for the CA. The one I have is for the CA, so I guess that's what I'll put it on for now.

	Yes to CA, that hitch is narrower than the one for WD/WD45.
