TC33DA and Pat's easy change

[MikeBurr]

I have the delux 3 point where the lower hitch links can be slipped out for hooking to attachments.
Getting ready to install the pat's quick hitch on my tractor. Looks like I remove the hardware that allows the current links to slip outward and then put the easy change hardware on. Everything looks like it will fit that way.

Just looking, it looks like if I don't remove the current slip linkage and install it over the ball as shown in the directions, that the slip linkage would always be in slip mode and wouldn't lock back in the normal retracted position.

Also on the rod that is used to space the rear links, do you leave it on or should it be taken off once the attachment is in place. It looks like it could be left on and the lockdown knob loosened. It has clips that would hold it in the pat's system rear links.

I installed Pat's right onto the ends and did not have to make any modification on my TC33DA. Did not have to extend the ends.

I don't use the bar. Should have never got it. The adjustment locks that keep the arms from swinging serve me just fine.
