BX front quick-hitch questions

[oldnslo]

Hi all,
I have done some searches on this and found some pictures but could not find anything that gave me deffinite answers to how these mount so here goes.. Reason i am asking these questions is that my son has a plow that came off of a JD 2305 with the JD quick-hitch assembly. I am going to look at this assembly and would like to know how the "factory" version mount to get a better idea of where the stresses are transmitted.

1) Do these hook on the same ears and the front attachment point as the MMM?

2) I presume you remove the locking arm used for the MMM.

2) Where do the clamp or bolt on the frame members? Front, sides, both?

TIA

Roy

Here's a couple pic's. First one is my tractor when I first installed the quick hitch. The second one I believe is BPfick's that I saved when I was looking into getting a front blade.

1. Doesn't use the slot for the MMM hanger, but does use the hole for the retaining pin.
2. Yes, and the grill guard if you have one.
3. Two pins go across the bottom of the QH and through the frame and are pinned with hitch pins, then it uses two wedged shaped blocks that sit on the top of the front frame and as you turn the big T screws they pull the QH tight to the frame and pull it up to snug it tight. Pic's should help to explain.

thanks Chris,
this gives a better idea of how to look at mounting something to the front.
