• A hitch plate is furnished for tractors having square
(straight) hitch frames, as shown in figure 27, to
prevent binding of Mow-N-Vac hitch in tight turns. It is
assembled with a 1/2" x 1-1/4" hex bolt, a 7/16" flat
washer and a 1/2" lock nut. Tapered hitch frames,
shown at the bottom of figure 27, do not require the
added hitch plate.
NOTE; Tractors with light (thin) metal frames may
require added hitch plate to avoid excessive wear.
