Hi guys:
Speeco Quick Hitch
L2501
FDR1660
The lower link hooks on the Speeco are 28-1/4" apart (same as on the Kubota Quick Hitch). The mower was a lot narrower than that. First pic shows the pin brackets flipped over and installed on the other side of the support frame so I could get maximum width but I was still at 27-1/2" and due to the small "U" I need all the distance or the hooks will not engage properly. There is very little wiggle room.
So I needed two 3/8" spacers to get the pin brackets out to 28-1/4".
I decided to make them from HDPE which is also used for cutting boards and I got one from the dollar store.
There is still enough left over for a cutting board.
Spacer in place.
