Overview

This video documents a real troubleshooting session, not a polished how-to, where the owner discovers his box blade pins don't match his new quick hitch, then works through a multi-day fix involving custom-cut adapter bushings and careful measurement to make everything align. It goes into genuine mechanical detail: hole sizing, bushing selection, band-saw cutting, and top-link adjustment. Most useful for owners wrestling with similar quick-hitch compatibility issues.

Posted by the WorkingDan channel, presenting as an owner-operator working through hands-on problems on their own equipment.
