WD Tom44 11-20-2009 18:21:06 173.69.17.249 121317 Report to Moderator	How much would I expect to pay for snap coupler parts, the hook and bell, linkage, etc.? I am looking for parts to convert my WD over to snap coupler and don't have a clue as to what parts might be worth. Thanks, Tom [Reply]   [No Email]

SO much easier to hoop up and a Whole LOT Safer .. Those lift-links Set-Screwed to the arms prevent an implement from dropping off, should that "Blind Pin" come out or break.. If that happens, the plow comes up into the seat with you..... I have checked many times, just to be sure those lift-latches will release, and they really DO let go right away...!! It is pretty nice to put the plow on right from the seat, too..!! Ron..   [Reply]   [Send Email]

What kind of a lifting hitch does it have now? I have never seen a WD or WD45 without a snap coupler Lifting hitch. Was the snap coupler hitch an option on these Tractors?   [Reply]   [No Email]

Nowhere near as convenient as the snap coupler, yet strangely, easier than today's 3 point hitch!   [Reply]   [No Email]

I get most of the stuff I need at estate sales, not consignment sales, too many dealers, and I hate paying buyers fees. Try auctionzip.com to see auctions in your area.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Lift arm latches, bell, tripleaver, and drawbar and bail. Sometimes you can get it for a lot less on ebay one pice at a time, if you get the parts that dont match or need some repair, like springs.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I am interested, e mail me at t4444k@verizon.net or cal me at 401-647-2143. Let me know how much you want, and what parts are included. I don't need the lift arm latches, I have them. I am looking for the bell and hook mainly, however if you have the release lever and the somewhat rare release lever for the hand clutch I would be interested in these parts also. Thanks for getting back to me, and thanks also to the other folks who have responded. Tom   [Reply]   [No Email]
