Been a good couple days with the 1872.
Picked up the Hy-Tran and was getting ready to install the fluid, and thought there was something missing......
So I made a phone call to a buddy who bent me a plate of steel. Figured it wouldn't hurt to tie in the rear even more besides the rear axle reinforcement braces. Built myself a rear hitch that bolts into the rear and frame. I know they are available, but wanted it to be my own

Added a hook to it that's removable. Wanted it for those times when I need to pull something and don't have a clevis along. Welded nuts on the backside, two bolts and off it comes...... not that it needs too.
