Hey Allan in NE, . . .

Might've dreamed that - been drifting off lately.

Mines got the linkage. Think I'd rather have the sway blocks.

Looked at a 1566 Saturday that had been updated to the sway blocks.

Mitch

No, both of mine have the pin/slider thing. I can't recall a sway block setup since way back in the fast hitch days.

Previous owner provided me with a really nice old piece of chain tho. :>)

Allan

No, the rear hitch.

Those old sway blocks would keep the hitch from swinging sideways when the hitch was up and then let it move laterally when down and in the field.

They were kind of a neat setup; just two wedge shapped blocks, one mounted on each side of the PTO area. The left arms had a 'wear plate' attached to contact the wedge in the up position.

Allan

Those old books always had a paragraph in there that told you that you could switch the blocks from side to side and limit the sway when the hitch was down.

Never could figure out why you would want the hitch to be rigid when it was down. ?? :>)
