imatch quick attach bushing

[denm74]

Just picked up a used jd imatch quick attach to use on my kubota tractor with a landpride box scraper. I noticed that the lower pins are suppose to use a bushing to fit the 1.5" hole in the quick attach, wondering if this is what all quick attach systems do for the lower pin or just deere's design

That is the ASAE standard specification.

The lower bushings are roughly 1.45 inch diameter to fit in the 1.5 inch hooks. There are straight bushings to fit the clevis style and the shoulder type that are turned down from about 2 inches on the ends to the 1.45 inches for the single hitch pins. These pins are cat 3 lower size.

The top link bushings are cat 3 pin size and I have found a few bushings that go from cat 1 to cat 3. Most of the time I have to use two bushings a cat 1 to cat 2 and slip a cat 2 to cat 3 bushing over it. For some implements I use cat 3 solid pins and weld them in place, cutting to fit the implement. The last is what I prefer since it is hard to loose one that is welded in place and it eliminates the need for the often found piece of flat bar that is in the way.

I've found that Land Pride lists the top bushings as parts for the attached implement. If you look at the parts list for your box blade, you should be able to find the right bushing.

my top bushing is good, wasnt sure if all the quick hitches needed bushings for lower link or just the jd's

That is what I do. It works for most implements.
