Quick hitch problem

[jay2]

Added a quick hitch. One problem, when I raise and lower the blade, the two bolts that hold the top hook on the QH hit the top mount for the blade. See picture. Any thoughts how to fix this?
Thanks'

Post 24 shows replacing the bolts with a couple cutoff pins. Works well, and better than modifying implements.

Hi Jay, what i did with mine was i used a cut off blade and cut the adjustment part off of the hitch. I welded a flat plate across, then figured out where my hook should be and welded it to the plate. It works fine but now you have no adjustment, there is another company that mfgs. one that turns the adjustment plate sideways then welds the hook to a plate and it slides up and down without any obstruction. another option would be lenghten the hook so your adujustment holes are higher up. I hope this helps Barry

Mine hit also but, no problem. I have a set of torches, a plasma cutter, a band saw and 2 welders. Problem solved. ps,, I love modifying stuff!!
