3 pt quick attach

[GBeck]

I did a search and the thread seems to 1000 pages so I thought I would start another one.
But I just got the 3 pt quick attach (not the pat's) seems to work on a couple of my attachments, but seems the blade I got the hook doesn't fit into the slot because of the angle weld. What have some of you come up with to attach the attachments
and I am not a welder, so if you can buy something that works best for me

Well since I'm not certain which QH you are referring to, I'm gonna take a guess and think it's the one from Harbor Freight. I found the hook to be more of a pain than anything else.... I'm not sure I understand the why of it but the available 3PT adapter should be well publicized along with the QH, or even included with it.... Call HF with the model number of your unit and they have the adapter available for a paltry $8 + shipping... They are currently back-ordered. I ordered one a couple of weeks ago and expect it to make my life much easier... Hope I have been of some help.

the make is a farm pro, (personally they all the look the same to me, but what do I know)...I ordered it online, as in my area even the local TSC doesn't carry them.
so there is an actual adapter available? well that's good news...I won't even begin to tell you what I tried that doesn't work...

 

[GBeck]

do you have a part #, I can't seem to find it on the site...or is that what you meant by not well publicized

 

[The Dougster]

The QH I have is from Harbor Freight and made by Haul-Master... My model # is 97214.... The number to call is 800-444-3353..
Now, the 3 pt adapters I've seen all look the same and would be quite simple to make but at $8, I figured "why bother?"
I suggest you order one and if'n it don't fit, send it back...

TSC special ordered one for me a couple weeks ago, it came last Friday, $21 with shipping and tax. Part #HF141145

biggerten, Could you measure your adapter for me and give me three measurements (labeled AAA, BBB, and CCC in the photo) My quick hitch is three hours away . I was very happy that my QH picked up my spray rig and shredder (both a bear to wrestle around) but not happy that the hook did not fit most of the other stuff so I'm going to make my own adaptor.

teg, the width of the U will be just wide enough to slide over the hook tower and the top link pin goes through the U then the tower, top link, tower, and out the other side of the U. The U needs to be long enough to pass over the back of the tower (without the hook installed) and wind up in the same relative position as the hook. The tail... measure the deepest top attachment point and make it 3/4'' longer minimum (wiggle room). Some of my stuff uses the hook, some the adapter. On the top flat of the hitch I write (in white out) the implement, hook or adp, position of top link(in or out). If I use the hook I note which holes the hook pins into.

Just noticed your hitch is 3 hours away, AA=3" BB=4" CC=2"

THANKS!!! Wasn't that easier I assume this is the Horrible Fright one (which does look like the FarmPro one...)
