ABSTRACT:
Tractors often have front ballast weights to counter-balance rear-mounted implements. These weights are usually contiguous parallel cast plates disposed in longitudinal vertical planes. Transversely aligned recesses are often provided in the front edges of the plates to form a towing mouth, and complementary semi-cylindrical grooves in the side faces of the plates form cylindrical holes intersecting the towing mouth, one such hole containing a hitch pin. Side loading is transmitted back to the weakest section of those weights carrying the hitch pin; and the hitch pin is a loose fit in its hole because the latter is formed by cast grooves. To avoid these disadvantages, the grooves are omitted and a clevis fitted partially within the recesses is clamped to the tractor frame by bolts passing through longitudinal holes in the respective weights and has upper and lower jaws with vertically aligned machined holes for the hitch pin.
