Make sure the hitches are spread to the correct separation BEFORE you adjust the alignment to "square" ( the 2 bolts assem on each side ) with the implement pin orientation , or it won't hook-up to the Hog neatly.
You'll easily see what I mean if it's out-of-wack when you first attach something.
OH OH. I already placed my order a couple of nights ago with TBN. I picked up a can of Kubota gray paint today, intending to paint them before I put them on. Thanks, Carl.
Don't know, but if it does they should be easy enough to change out with new pins from TSC. I Just reread your message. If the bracket that the pins attach to is bent, then I would think the Easy Change brackets would not hook up.
Your pins should be pretty close to 90 degrees to the Pat's Hitch hook-up connector , or there maybe an engagement issue.
Why not bend the imple. pins assem. back to square ? Bit of heat and a hammer ;-)
Whoo Hoo! The UPS man just delivered Pat's Easy Change hitches today. I ordered them Monday night from TBN and received them Friday afternoon. What quick service! I will install them tomorrow morning when the temperature cools down a bit.
I installed the hitches on my Kubota L3800 Sunday. They fit perfectly! I made one change though. I changed out the 4 jam nuts, the lower of the 2 nuts, on the u-bolts for 3/8-16 ny-locks I got from Lowes. This way if a jam nut does come loose, it wont unscrew itself off.
Just oredered the system, with the equalizer bar, from this site. I have all my implements on dollys, but anything I can do to make it easier works for me. I might be a little lazy, but it "works for me".
