It took 10 years to bust up this Agri-Supply Quick Hitch; it took a couple hours to fix it.

Before:

After about 5 minutes using my 22 ton Speeco/Huskee log splitter to strraighten eveything out:

And then reinforce it using mostly bed frame angle iron and test coupon material from the James Lincoln Foundation (Lincoln Welders):

After an alcohol rub cleaning and painting:

Thanks for looking!

This time it should be good for another 50 years . Nice job.

They just don't make things like they used to. LOL
Nice beefy reinforcement job!

 

[GreensvilleJay]

interesting use for a 'log splitter' ! I've seen them used to detire steel rims.....

 

[Runs With Scissors]

I am also impressed with using the log splitter!

Nice job and great use of the bed frame.

I wouldn't want to take it off and on much now.

My Agri Supply hitch is still hanging in for me at 12 years old. I wanna know how your rubber handles have held up so well?

I modified mine for more driveshaft clearance with my finish mower attached.

Greasy hands???

In 10 years, it's only been off twice: Once to use the post hole digger and then this time to fix it.
