 Topic: pin hitch converted to snap coupler
Posted: 21 Nov 2011 at 5:28pm |
If I had a pin hitch style corn planter, (Made for early WDs), How hard is this to convert to a snap coupler eye? Anyone done this? Seems like I remember a post on this before.
Do I just need the snap coupler eye or do I need more parts?

You need the eye and lift pins that will fit the lift latches.

I hope this is related. Is the pull bar of a 52 pin hitch plow the same length as a snap coupler one?

If it has the "duck bill" then just remove it and bolt on a snap couple ring. Some of them were made to use the drawbar as a hitch. These had a double hitch bar and would have to be replaced with a complete snap couple hitch bar. Bob

Thanks Don!
I think I could make it work easily, Just might need lift arm ends. Already have the eye.
