| Hi everyone. I just started on this forum as I am new to the tractor world. I have been recently given a nice running 1951 Allis Chalmers CA, serial number "CA 635". My question is, can I upgrade the pin hook up to the newer snap coupler set up from another newer model CA? I want to use the tractor to pull some simple implements for working on my small deer food plot. The hydraulics work fine as I have already tested it. I know I could buy implements that will hook up to a ball on the draw bar but they are pricey and I sort of like the idea of using original parts. Thanks for whatever help you can give me. |

Yes you can add the Snap Couple bell, but you have to alter the lift arms for the proper lift latches to fit. The pin hitch lift arms have a little "hangy down" piece with an extra hole, compared to the SC lift arms.  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| Why not just get a pin hitch 3pt adapter. I did and it worked great. I put the pin hitch back on later. The woods belly mower dosent work with a snap couple the bell gets in the way with a pin hitch I can have a hitch with the belly mower installed. I put the pin hitch adapter on one of my WEd 45s and it workes hreat there also |

Don't need to cut down the lift arms. I use mine with both pin and snap coupler implements. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

I thought the lift latches wouldn't fit right with the extra part on the bottom of the pin hitch lift arms.  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

They work well but they are a little loose and pivot on the bolt. Since I have both pin & Snap-Coupler equipment I have no need to cut the arms down. One benefit to leaving the arms long is have lift snap-coupler equipment a bit higher off the ground. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |
