I bought a used bushhog today and saw the way it hooks up to an old Ford tractor. When I got home I took a look at my John Deere and am a bit confused on what the hookup looks like. A pic of someone else's would be very helpful. [Reply]   [Send Email]

Live power is separtate and apart from your traction drive clutch, so when you disengauge it the tractor stops without regard of what the PTO driven implement is doing.   [Reply]   [No Email]

However mine may not be the best example, because the 3 point came with the tractor and it is some kind of modified thing from a farmall or Massey? However it does have quick disconnects on the three point like a International? It works good. The top link is 1 inch square tubing that has several holes drilled in for adjusting. Not a true JD 801 hitch however.   [Reply]   [No Email]

That pic, Fred, makes me realize that with a little ingenuity I can probably modify to work. I'm a machinist/steel fabricator and have lots of machine shop equipment and materials at hand. If anyone else has more pics to share of the hookup from their deere to a bushhog, it would be even further helpful.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

All the Fords do, so that might be your problem. Best of luck ! Jim B.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
