B7100 3 point hitch assembly

[MolsonCanadian]

Hi everyone. I am brand new to tractors and picked up a '79 B7100 for a good price. It has a FEL and rear remote lines that someone added on. I purchased a 3 point hitch kit as it didn't come with anything but the lift arms on the tractor itself.

Does anyone have a good picture of how the arms, turnbuckles, etc are mounted on the tractor? I grabbed a 6' drag blade to use as counter weight. I would also like to add a blower or box blade down the road.

Thanks!

Here is a picture from my owners manual, Mine is a late model so I do not know if yours will be exactly the same. At least the picture gives the proper nomenclature for the various parts. Hope it helps.

That is awesome! Thanks to you both!

There is a certain amount of variation in the configuration of these hitches, particularly where/how the tractor end of the turnbuckles attach.
In my pic, they connect to right angle pieces that are mounted on the bar. I also have had straight connector on the bar.
In ken erickson's pic, they connect to the drawbar hitch.
In the pic below, they connect to the bar, but a different way than the first pic.

Here's a pic from the B710 brochure:
(no turnbuckles, though)

I am in a similar situation here. Can anyone tell me what sort of PTO shaft I will need for my b7100? I seem to have a shaft from an implement that I’m told was used in this tractor but can’t seem to get it to connect, same number of splines but seems to have a lot of play and doesn’t lock into place. Seem that the teeth are 3/8” and there are 6 teeth. Is this standard?
