    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 at 9:03pm
I am converting my D17 Series IV from snap coupler to 3 point hitch.  I bought a 3 point hitch used from a 170 or 180 tractor and it appears complete.   My question is whether I should go ahead and hook up the tractor booster linkage or just bypass it.   I am not going to plow with it or pull anything extremely heavy.   I opted to go with a used donor 3 point vs. the cheap aftermarket ones that are available.   I paid $375 and it appears got a much better product.   Thing must weigh over 500 lbs.   I have a second question regarding what type of tool I need to remove the clips that secure the lift arms on their large diameter shafts.   Any other recommendation that can be offered for this conversion is welcome.

You made a good choice. No need for TB linkage if not using for tillage. If you are referring to the slotted head bolts, there is a socket that fit them.                MACK

I did the very same thing several years ago. As the clips, NAPA has a tool that removes them. It is commonly used to rebuild transmissions. I took a picture on my cell phone of the clips, walked in the store and 10 minutes later I walked out with the tool. I took an aftermarket 3 point off my series 4 and went to the factory unit. It is 100 times better than the aftermarket stuff. I wish I had done it 25 years earlier. I had to buy a short 1" drive air gun to remove the bolts underneath the tractor. I got 1 from Harbor Freight. You will love the 3point.
