Scored this bad boy today. The guy didn't know what it was and was asking $100. I didn't argue.
It's 26" from the point to the bottom of the cross bar and it's pretty darn heavy. That is about all I know about it. It seems to be Cat 2 pins, which I will replace because they are pitted. Lower pins are 7/8" and the upper is 3/4".
The last picture shows the ends of the cross bar and what I think are legs to stand it upright. Is that correct?
Anyway, I plan to clean it up and paint it Ford blue. It should look good behind my LS :)

A couple of points:

- 7/8 and 3/4" = Cat 1

- I've nominated you for the "You Suck! award for this week.

No offense.

Thanks. Will my 60 hp tractor be too much for this in heavy clay?
Should I go ahead and change the pins to Cat 2 to match my tractor?

Oh that is going to be way too small for your 60hp tractor, but I think it will work perfect behind my 35hp tractor. Where do I send the $100?
