Having a bit of spare time, I decided to modify my clevis hitch. When I fitted the 'Linack' motor to operate it I used a solid link, this meant at times, the discs or cultivator would lift the back wheels off the ground. Changing the solid link to a chain solved this, but I was not happy with it.
If I wanted to use the tow bar, especially with a tow ball, I had to take the hitch off.
The modification allows me to have a solid link, selectable floating or not, and the hitch can be raised high enough to allow the ball hitch to be used without removing anything.
I also got around to fitting the 480 x 10 tri rib front wheels and tyres they compensate for the 7 x 12 rears and level the tractor.
Must clean up and paint the discs.
Sorry about the extra photos, I don't seem to be able to delete them.
You have just witnessed a very rare event Norm, a woman BMW driver who had actually stopped before using her phone. She most likely only needs to be caught once more to be banned!
Probably 90% of people I see using phones whilst driving are female BMW drivers. The boys in blue always know who's one the phone, they will be driving about 55 / 60 mph in the middle lane of the motorway.
Changing the solid link to a chain solved this, but I was not happy with it.

i spose putting it in the wood working section gave it away.

Hi Neil, Front tyres are 4.00 x 10 3 rib, rears are 7.00 x 12. Weights on rears are 35 kg's each side of Aldi weight lifting weights.
For the show, which was a last minute entry, the wheels got a quick coat of Screwfix "no nonsense" zinc galvanising spray.
