I was looking at the Moline af plow I got the other week and wondering how it hooks to the draw bar on the tracor with that circle ring at the end of the plow hitch?? what parts am I missing here and can that be changeded out to a regular draw bar hitch and pin??
 
MM had a break away coupler that bolted to tractor drawbar, it was designed to release if plow hit a rock or other solid object.

If you risk using just a clevis you would want a straight clevis, not twisted one.
 
You can use a clevis if you dont have any rocks but it is actually supposed to
have a spring release coupler that bolts to the drawbar. I will see if I can
take a picture of one. I may have an extra one here. They are not trip bottoms
on those plows so this is how they worked if you hit an obstruction.
 
jr. looking at a twisted clevis raises a question if both the ring on the plow hitch and the draw bar are both flat how would a 90 degree twisted clevis set up work?
 
On this site under Tractor Related Items there is a listing for a Plow Hitch like you need for your plow. He says it is an Allis Chalmers, but looks like the one Dad had when we used our MM 3 bottom hydraulic plow behind our 1949 MM UTU back in the day in Illinois. Priced at $40.00 which is a bargain looks like to me. Hope you can get it. John in Sunny AZ
 
Here is my AF MM plow hooked on my ZAU with original style hydraulic break away
set up. If you need a separate picture of just the hitch that bolts to the
tractor drawbar I can take one of just that. Some companies had a "ring" that
bolted to the drawbar of the tractor and had the spring release hitch on the
tongue of the plow. An AC hitch will work on some MM drawbars. They had two
mounting bolts where as MM just had one.

thank you john will look it up and try and contact the seller. john.
 
thank you alan, looks like a pindle hitch type set up. I know a ac guy (bill) where I bought the plow, and i'll also check with him to see if he has one.
