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? ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

You need the eye and lift pins that will fit the lift latches. ------------- Randy Freshour,Member Indiana AC Partners, http://www.rumelyallis.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.rumelyallis.com |

| 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. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |
