Hey everyone!
I just bought a used Danuser F8 locally. It's crazy heavy, and I am really looking forward to trying it out.
I went to hook it up for the first time and discovered that it will not fit my Category 1 hitch (lower links too large). They make a hardware kit (pretty expensive) to replace the lower pins with Category 1 size, but the old category 2 pins are seriously rusted into the sockets (the attachment is like a long pipe or sleeve, about 8 inches long versus a threaded end on my other attachments).
The rust is not anywhere near a concern for the implement's strength, but I doubt I'll be able to pull these pins out of the sleeves.
Do you guys have any suggestions for another way to mate a category 2 implement onto a category 1 tractor?
Any remote chance there's someone out there with a category 1 F8 and a category 1-and-2 tractor who would be interested in swapping the hoop portion of the digger?
I'm punting here...
