I have a pretty new JD quick hitch I got in a deal with a tractor.
I am going to sell it but am wondering if it is just Cat 1 or is it Cat 1&2? No label with a part number on it.
I have the bushings needed for Cat 1 implement but will it also work with Cat 2? The pins to mount it to the tractor are Cat 1.

Thanks for any insight.

That would be Cat I only I believe.

Personally I have never seen one. My experience is with Cat 2 and 3 only

I have never seen a dual fit quick hitch;
the lower link spacing from Cat 1 to Cat 2 is six inches (28" and 34") and 2 to 3 is another 6 inches (34" to 40".
You would almost have to have two sets of latches for a dual sized hitch.
And then the height of the top link hook is different also.

Ahh, ok. I didn't think of the width.
I just wondered since it requires the Cat 1 pins, on the implement, to have large bushings on them.
Maybe they use the hooks on different models?

The hooks on the QA will correspond to the categories' top and lower link pin diameters.

That is the part I don't get and why I wondered. The Cat1 quick hitch says it requires bushing for the lower pins. Not need for the upper if it is a quick hitch compatible implement since the large "pin" is already there.
Ok, looking at the chart it seems that Cat 1, 2 & 3 use the same lower and upper hook socket dimensions. That explains it.
