| Quick question gurus...I have found an 8' allis disk currently set up to hitch to a ca. Can I convert this to snap coupler for my wd45? |

| Yes. I did that with my disc. Replace the pin hitch assembly with a snap-coupler eye. Two 5/8' bolts if I recall correctly. |

| Thanks Brian... I was thinking that too but was wondering if bolting the eye to one side of the disk tounge would affect how straight the disk would pull. What was your experience? |

Now that you mention it, it wasn't my disk after all. It was my rear mounted blade that I changed from pin hitch to snap-coupler eye. I'll take a look at the disk tonight and see if I can get a picture of it. |

Here are some pictures of my SC #109 disc. Note it has the ridge reducer extensions on the back gang.

On mine the tongue is welded together at the end so I just took the loop from my plow and bolted it to the side. Seems to work fine...
