3-Point Hitch Conversion Buying Guide
Add a 3-point hitch to your vintage tractor and run modern 3-point implements. This guide lists every hitch conversion we sell, which tractors each one fits, and what's included. Our hitches are made in the USA, and we have sold and installed them since 2000. Not sure which one you need? Call us at 877-378-6543 (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM Central) with your model and serial number.
Drawbar-mounted or quick hitch?
- Drawbar-mounted: the strongest option. A mainframe bolts to your existing drawbar (some models need one hole drilled) and a sway block gives positive sway control without chains. Your drawbar stays in place and Traction Booster still works.
- Quick (snap-coupler) hitch: the easiest to fit and remove. It locks into your snap coupler, so the snap-coupler drawbar must come off. Traction Booster still works, but sway control is limited.
- New-style (WD and WD45 only): like the drawbar-mounted hitch, but the mainframe bolts to the bottom of the tractor at the drawbar support brackets.

Shipping
Hitches ship by UPS, unboxed, which meets UPS requirements — boxes tend to rupture under the weight and odd shapes. UPS handling often scratches the paint and UPS won't insure against it, so plan to touch up or repaint if you want a show finish. More in our FAQ and Shipping & Orders.
Still not sure?
Call 877-378-6543 with your tractor model, serial number, and whether it has a snap coupler or a drawbar support. We know these hitches well and will help you choose the right one the first time.
