Jcb 3cx manual quick hitch repair

[DaveS]

Gday from an unusually wet part of Australia for this time of the year.
After a suitable amount of time to realise how simple the procedure was I have
made a tool to suit the fitting. A torsion bar out of a Landcruiser machined down to
20mm x 95 mm deep, my apologies for using metric, a couple of beads of weld to tighten up where the
hole is slightly oval and voila!
I still have some small machining jobs to fit the hitch to the HitachI but it appears to be all good.
Thank you everyone for your assistance
Cheers
Dave Stevenson

What buckets will you be using?
If it's JCB, then all good, but be aware the JCB pins are 1-3/4" (44.45mm).
Being a new hitch, it won't pickup a 45mm pin.
