The Model HK-102 hitch adapter kit is designed for the IHC/Farmall Model C, Super C, 200 and 230 tractors. This kit is for tractors equipped with a standard swinging drawbar. NOT for tractors with the IHC fast hitch (2 pt.).

This kit uses the existing hydraulic lift on the tractor to raise and lower the 3 pt. hitch.

CAUTION!

Be sure your tractor is in good condition and properly equipped with counterweights. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all tractor operators are familiar with the safety rules of tractor operation.

Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate tires to the proper recommended air pressure.

Check the tractor’s hydraulic system. Refer to your tractor operator’s manual or dealer for any adjustments necessary to put the hydraulic system in good working order. (I&T shop manuals will list most specifications and adjustment instructions – available from most farm equipment dealers.)

Check the shield over the PTO stub shaft. Make sure it is in good condition and bolted securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or missing. (You may have to use a tractor salvage yard for replacement parts on older tractors.)

It is recommended that a ROPS (Roll-Over Protection Structure) be installed on all tractors. Contact your local dealer for ROPS for your tractor.

Check the threaded holes that go into the rear tractor housing and make sure the threads are in good condition and that the holes are clean.

NOTE: These holes on the sides of the differential hous- ing may have painted cork plugs in them. It is necessary to remove the cork and clean the holes.

CAUTION!

If an air hose is used to blow any loose rust or dirt from the holes, be sure safety glasses are used to prevent particles from entering an eye.

The HK-102 kit is designed to lift up to 800 pounds. This capacity of lift is calculated at a point 24” to the rear of the lift arms. The lifting capacity is dependent on the pressure and condition of the tractor’s hydraulic system. You will also find that the closer the load is kept to the tractor, the more you will be able to lift. The tractor and the hitch may be damaged if you use heavier loads.

For instruction reference, the terms front or rear are based on the operator facing forward on the tractor, thus front is toward the front of the tractor and the rear is to the rear of the tractor.

It is suggested that all the instructions be read before beginning assembly.

Check the exploded view of the HK-102 hitch kit in this manual to get an idea of the relationship between the parts.

Place the main hitch frame in position on the upper rear part of the differential housing. Insert the 3/4” x 2” hex head bolts with lockwasher through the upper holes (two each side) in the hitch frame and into the housing on the tractor. Leave all bolts loose at this time.

Remove the swinging drawbar bracket bolts on each side to install the right and left hand pull brackets over the outside of the existing drawbar brackets. (Do one side at a time.)

Place the 5/8” x 2” hex bolt with lockwasher through the rear oval hole in the pull bracket, the lower hole of the main frame, and into the housing of the tractor. Leave the bolt loose for now.

Swing the pull bracket up into position and using a 5/8” – 11 x 21/4” hex bolt with lockwasher, place it through the front oval hole of the pull bracket, the drawbar mounting bracket, and into the tractor housing. Repeat this procedure for the opposite side, then tighten all the bolts.
