A Couple of Really Basic Questions

They say the only dumb question is the one unasked, so let's put that to the test:

What's a spring assist?

What's a sleeve hitch?

I hear about these over and over and can't make hide nor hair of them by just guessing.

A spring assist goes on the manual lift handle and helps lift heavy stuff like plows and blowers, the sleeve hitch is a lift for the rear so you can use a plow or rototiller.

Spring assists are for people who can't afford hydraulic. :biggrin2:

Here is the heavy duty sleeve hitch adapter I make with both drilled and slotted lift straps plus lift pins

You have a 122 listed. Since it's a manual trans, you can use both the Brinley spring assist and the IH spring assist on your 122 ( provided you have the rear lift--The Brinley attaches to the rear lift arm )

Nice hitch, and thanks for the pix.

Is a rear lift the same as a three-point?
