My Harbor Freight Quick Hitch

Fingers crossed that the pto shaft for the brush hog extends enough to fit with the QH.

Thanks for the ideas.

You might need one of these:
PTO ADAPTER 1-3/8X6SPL M. X 1-3/8X6SPL F - Agri Supply

I use one with my chipper/shredder and it's a worthwhile purchase. Do try to keep the PTO drive shaft as straight as possible though.

The post above is the first I've read of someone tearing one up. Has anyone else with a 40 hp or smaller tractor done this too?

Mine bent as well. Kubota l3700su. Was brush hogging, backing up and lightly tapped a tree while turning. My fault. Spread the two lower hooks enough for one of the pins to slip out. Picked up a used land pride qh. Quite a difference in the two as far as weight and construction. Haven't decided what to do with the hf qa as it could be straightened and reinforced.

Anybody have a working number for the adaptor? Everything I type in comes up blank.

What adapter?
Which post are you refering to?

Its mentioned early on in the thread that HF has an adaptor for the top hook attachment on the Cat 1 QH. It was mentioned it helps with implements that sometimes don't fit or meet Cat 1 design standards. When I search for the numbers listed, nothing comes up. It's an old thread, maybe it's not available anymore.

I needed an adapter for one implement, so I made one.

Two 3/8 x 2.5 bars about 9 inches long. Hole (3/4) in each end. Pin them on and go.

Back then you had to call HF's Customer Service to order it. About $18 including shipping. I think this still applies today.

Try this one, 29309-0VGA

when you call to order it, may have to give them the part number for the QH and they should be able to look it up that way as a accessory for it.

I put that number into Google 29309-0VGA and it hit dozens of articles and posts confirming that's correct. Reading those links would be a good introduction for anyone who wants to know more about the QH.

When I ordered mine, I just phoned HF Customer Service and said I wanted a 'top link for a HF Quick Hitch'. She knew the number already, and wrote up the order immediately. Their order-by-phone service works pretty well.

I ordered a few of the adapters back in July. I had to call the # that is listed for questions and tell them i wanted the adapter referenced on the page of the manual. They sent it in a few days. I think they were $13 or $14 dollars a piece.:thumbsup:
