Stabilizer spacing won’t fit my old attachments

[Dustypp]

Hello recently upgraded to a bigger utility tractor from a smaller ford 7209 and the issue is the stabilizer spacing for bottom implement pins. the stabilizers won’t come in enough to hook both pins in the ball bearings and wondered what the solution was for that is there was one instead of having to buy all new attachments. Any help is appreciated thanks

For me it would be to drag each implement into shop and fabricate/modify each to fit new tractors dimensions.... The cost of a days labor and materials for fabrication would probable be a lot less then replacing implements and the having to leave old implements littering property or trying to find a buyer to make them go away....

Looking at picture you supplied I think I would get a CAT "X" (CAT 1-2-3) drawbar that fits your tractor and just bolt or weld implement to drawbar

Great idea, would rather not have to buy all new. don’t think longer hitch pins on each end of implement would do the job? Too much stress on pin?

Did you go from a cat I 3ph to a cat II?

The spacing is different for the pins. 26" vs 32"

It also looks like your bale spear is a homemade spear that isnt even 26" cat I dimensions.

Have no idea what a 7209 ford is. Never heard of it. And you list a 5075e in your profile.....which is a deere model number but dont look like a deere in the pic.

What was the old tractor?
What is the new tractor?
What is the current spacing between the pins on that spear?

Did the OP go with the Massey 4707?

If you unpin both stabilizers will the lower arms swing in close enough then?

Or as has been mention modify the bale spear to cat 2 sizing, saw off the end plates add on more square tubing and reinstall
the end plates with cat 2 pins.

Old ford the 7209 was loader for it. I didn’t get a 5075 too liteweight, I have a Massey 4707. May be homemade but it fit the smaller ford just fine. The tractor I have now is a 75 horse
