greg_g said:Think about what you just wrote Roy. The Cat 2 PEC hook has to to be sized to pick up a Cat 2 lift pin 1-1/8" in diameter. It also has to be of sufficient strength to safely pick up a Cat 2 implement. The Cat 1 would be constructed to deal with 7/8" pins and lighter implement weights.
I measured mine with an implement mounted, a boxblade wearing Cat 2 lift pins. Center of lift pin to center of swivel pin is 4". I'm struggling to see how the smaller Cat 1 PEC - unless redesigned since I bought mine - would measure the same.
Perhaps George's question would be more accurately answered by simply calling Greenwell's at (888) 243-4204. That way he could get a measurement on the current Cat 1 design.

It would be the same since we're measuring Center to Center.
Going from Category one to a Category 2 would only require opening the attach hole ¼ (1/8th per side). As far as the measurement...take a look at the attached picture. Using your hand, you can estimate the distance from the center of the pin hole to the center of the implement lug. Just use the pin hole (7/8th's) or the hand as a size reference. You won't get the distance to the nearest .001", but you'll do pretty good
Note that the width of the slot of the implement lug is considerably wider the the hole diameter. The basic weldment (I was mistaken on calling this forging in my first post) is quite robust and is probably used for both categories.
But, call Pat's if you'd like...let us know what you find out.
