Hi my 1886-01 came with a cultivator and what appears to be a 3 pt hitch still connected to it. I downloaded the manual for that 3 pt hitch. Does anyone have a picture of it connected up to their tractor? From the manual I can't tell if that thing is supposed to connect to the center hydraulic lift using push rods like the tiller usually connects or is this just something that you tow behind the tractor??

If it is the early style hitch, it used two adjustable rods to the center hydraulic lift, with T-nuts to adjust them. If the later style, it used one sturdy link to the center hydraulic link. One very obvious difference between early and late style 3-pts is the cast iron pivot blocks that go into the end of the frame rails for the later style. That and the fact that the later style was capable of handling much more weight.

Any chance of posting a picture of the cultivator (and attached 3pt) ?

I have ever seen a picture of this later-style 3-pt hitch setup, and would very much like to. Does anyone have one they can post?

My 3pt hitch (on a 1455) just hooks up to the two rods that go over the axle and forward to the center hydraulic rock-shaft. They are beefy rods, about 5/8" diameter and have "handles" (pins crosswise through them) at the back end to screw them in or out to achieve level on your 3-pt implement.

****PICTURES**** question about 3 pt hitch

Ok guys,
Here are a bunch of pictures of this thing. It looks the the previous owner took off the entire hitch with the cultivator still attached to it. In the pictures you will see some close ups of the rod ends.

Would this be the early or later style?

They have a block and pin on them, are those the push rods that connect to the center hydraulic lift?

Then there is that big turnbuckle looking rig in the middle of the hitch. How does that connect to the tractor?

There is a picture with some other smaller items, not quite sure if they even go with the hitch or not.

Last there are some pictures of the entire setup from a distance so that you can see the whole thing. It came with a big scoop-like piece that I would think attaches to the middle of the cultivator somehow??

Thanks for looking, I hope these pics help you out and I hope you can help me figure out how to hook this thing up .

You guys like pictures so enjoy :trink39:

Its the early style as far as I can tell Ed .. I have no idea what the stuff in your last two photos is.

That appears to be the 18010 3pt hitch (can find it under the large frame documents thread) buried under a make-shift cultivator. If you pull the pins on the A-frame and remove the top-link you're left with the top-link and lift-arms and and the rods that run up (above the axle housing) and connect to the rock-shaft under the seat pan (these items make up the 3pt hitch). The A-frame looks like it's probably a form of 3pt to sleeve-hitch adapter ?? Interesting !!

Thanks Ken that is a great breakout of the unit. It must be the older style.

Thanks Ken that is a great breakout of the unit. It must be the older style.

The last few pages of that PDF are for a home made hitch .. I dont know how it got mixed in with the other

That A-frame looks like a Brinly sleeve adapter. The cultivator is an older Brinly with 2 hiller shovels . You also have in the last 2 pictures what looks like the anti-sway bar for the 3 point hitch and a furrower or middle buster as it is also known.

Thanks for all the help with this. Sounds like I have a mix of parts here.

I'll try hooking it up sometime and see if it works. I had an area bulldozed and now there are rocks, roots and stuff that I need to remove. I was wondering if I could use the cultivator to pull up some of those rocks and roots???

I can put mine on the tractor sometime this weekend, and post the pics if you .want.

Any time that it is convenient, Doug. I just can't find any literature or PDF docs on this later style hitch and am interested in how it it set up.

Thanks,

The pics tend toward dark, but hopefully you can get an idea of how it is attached to the tractor. The first pic shows the pieces laid out on a pallet, in more or less the orientation that they would have on the tractor. Note the iron blocks that slot into the extended ends on the tractor frame. These are the pivot blocks for the hitch rocker shaft.

For my own convenience, I propped the assembly up on a block so I would not have to disconnect the deck from the lift under the tractor. The offset link shown on the pallet goes from the left hitch arm to the tractor rocker shaft under the tractor.

I also did not install the anti-sway link. It would only be used when the attachment would generate side force, like a grader blade or rake might. A finish mower would not use the anti-sway link, for example.

Thanks Doug.

Just last night I found several pages from the parts manual for these. They are apparently an 18086 hitch, introduced on the HT23.
Unfortunately, the docs that were posted online were done as jpg files, so useless to read detail in, since they can't be enlarged.
If anyone has an original 18086 parts list/manual, it would make a great addition to this forum's library.

Doug, do you own a tiller for the large frame? If so, do the lift arms on this rockshaft align with the upright lift rod arms on teh tiller, and do the same short links that are hooked to the 3pt arms also work to hook up the tiller?

 

[LPBOLENS]

I do have two Large Frame tillers. At least the 18093 versions do not hook up using the rockshaft from the 3-pt. There are vertical arms that are connected to pull rods specific to the tiller. Those rods connect to the rockshaft under the tractor.
