 Topic: 3 Point Hitch Adapter WD45/D17 IV
Posted: 19 Jan 2015 at 6:31pm |
|
I'm kind of thinking out loud here, but can't seem come up with a definite answer. Is there a snap coupler to 3 point adapter that will fit both a WD45 and a D17 Series 4. I want the style that allows the traction booster to work. I understand that I will probably have to fabricate my own top link brackets, but that should be no problem. -Thanks in advance.

Look up Tony's Tractors. A sponsor here. Check his web page. He sells them. As far as a unit that works on both a D17 and a '45 ... I can't vouch for that.

If the 17 is a Snap Couple tractor, Yes, there is one that will work on both tractors. If it's a 3 point, I guess you wouldn't need an adapter

Yes, the D17 would also be factory snap coupler equipped.

The factory type "Wishbone" Is the one that will do what you want. Easy on and off. AC even had toplink brackets for each tractor.

I have the wishbone type. Chains were holding up the arms so I purchased stabilizer bars and robbed the rest from my dad's 3 point hitch off his 17. They are exactly the same.

Does anyone know if there are any dealers in NW Ohio that carry the wishbone style hitches? I haven't gotten a quote from Tony yet, (Closed till Friday) but I would assume I will have $100 in shipping. I would like to save that money if possible, I can drive a long ways for $100. -Thanks

Tony can have one drop shipped from the manufacturer right to your front door. So the shipping with be the same as one from a dealer just down the street for your house.

Interesting, I guess that would mean Tony would be about the cheapest option. Thanks, Don.

Tim, call Jim at OKTractor and get one of these. Then add a length of chain for the top link, so the back end cam come up if it needs to.

I think this would work for you.
You need to pull from the 'Snap Coupler' for the Traction Booster to work
