In preparation for the driveway drag, I needed a way to hitch it up to the rear end. The factory hitch is a three pin setup that would not work for me.
I found a piece of 3"x2"x.25" wall tube and cut it to length to fit inside the factory "channel", minus a bit to allow for clearance for the ends. Drilled it for two clevis pins. Cut two pieces of 3"x 1/4" flat bar and welded to the ends with another tube 2"x2"x.120 wall for a spacer and added strength. I bored 3/4" holes for a pivot point and added a receiver tube so I could use a ball mount to move my trailer around.
This should work for an anchor/pivot for the driveway drag/scraper and other implements that I have in mind. Hopefully, my hydraulics will raise and lower it.
