SCORE - Quick Hitch H-F

[California]

And, if I remember, they emphasize the clearance because the first ones were too narrow.

Yes.

When they first came out, many on here were widening theirs with a Farm Jack to get it to the SAE(??) standard to fit modern implements. Mine needed about 1/8" before it fit my Howse rotary mower.

As is often the case with HF's stuff - Some Assembly Required.

Guess what, I too had to tweak mine by almost 1/4-inch (6.4mm).
I didn't have a farm jack, bet it would of worked so much easier. Instead, I had a pipe clamp. I had to invert one end to make it into a pusher.

Now it all fits.

If you need a new top hook you can get one from amazon
for about $50. Someone said the top hook does not stand
out far enough to hook up.

Link to my post with photos showing the original and the Speeco stand-out hook.

Note the difference between the two right photos.

I have a couple of implements with the top pin set way back from the edge, so the pin wouldn't engage with the QH top hook. Buying the Speeco replacement hook solved the problem.

Please...don't buy tractor parts on Amazon!

We sell them, made in the USA too, and less than $50.

Not bad. Only $30+shipping. From your link in the other thread.

TOP HOOK FOR CAT 1 QUICK HITCH

The Boltonhooks.com is $42, yet it goes out further.

Now, one can reduce the length of the top-link to tilt the QH and the top hooking being further out. WHY? This title will then allow everything to be aligned once again.

The H-F QH is closely looking like the present Yanmar QH.
