Well, after researching here on TBN I decided to by my first attachment (parents own tractor). I was planning on purchasing this carryall from TSC: CountyLine Carry All - 2128210 | Tractor Supply Company Previously I had looked on line and found something that said our local store (35 minutes) was closed. So, today the family loaded up in our SUV and drove 55 minutes to the 2nd store. (it looked bigger than the first anyway) After getting lost on the way, we arrived at the store. The store was really dirty. After going up and down the isles, we did not see anything we wanted to buy.

So then I went outside and took a look at the carryall. The first thing I noticed was one of the welds on the frame was completely rusted and broken. (the frame was also bent out from the weld) :mad: So, I went back in to the store to the "service desk" and told the worker about the carryall in the lot. His response was: No! You're kidding!...:confused2:

After driving home I decided to call store #1 and see if they were still open...they were...:ashamed: After listening to some country music while I was on hold, I reached a worker. He said that they had one carryall in stock. So, we got back in the car and drove the 35 minutes to the store.

Upon arrival, we drove by the attachments, and we did not see the carryall. :confused: So, I went inside and asked the worker where it was. He told me that it was right out front. We looked again and did not see it. So, I went back in to the store and brought the worker out to the attachments. His response was: It was here earlier! :confused2: So we went to look in the back. (this store was a lot nicer than the first) After going outside the back, he found it in the corner. :) Then, after struggling to load it in our SUV, we made our way home with my sister holding it down...:laughing:

After struggling to get the 3-point hitch on, I finally got it on the tractor.
Needless to say, I had an eventful day...

Also, what kind of hardware goes through the parts that attach to the lift arms? :confused: I'm just using some hitch pins I had laying around.

You need a Cat 1 top link pin. TSH has them but that means another trip. Looks like you need a long one.

Extra Long Top Link Pin, Cat 1 - 0265147 | Tractor Supply Company

The lower pins have a hole that a special bolt-like thing with a round spring on it - a lynch pin. Looking at TSC online should get you the pictures.
SpeeCo Lynch Pin, 7/16 in., 2 pcs. - 1834062 | Tractor Supply Company

Thanks! Actually both of them are also parts that are used to attach the toplink to the tractor.
