Quick-Tach Sleeve With Slides Over Drawbar
 ✖  |
My woodsplitter and some of my trailers have ball hitches, but I have other equipment with pin hitches. I got tired of putting a ball on and off so I made a quick-tach sleeve to slide over the drawbar. I welded 2 pieces of 3-in. channel iron together, drilling 2 holes in the sleeve to match the 2 holes in the drawbar. I used a pair of 1/2-in. bolts to go through the sleeve and drawbar. Hairpins through the bottom ends of the bolts keep them from jumping out. I welded nuts to the top of the bolts, positioned on their sides, and attached 1/8-in. pieces of cable to the bolts and hair pins so they wouldn’t get lost. Now it takes only seconds to install the sleeve and ball hitch. (Terry Morgel, Avon, Minn.)
