This is the way I would approach it.

Agreed, I think that's exactly what I'll do.

Ariens(the Speery/New Holland actually came up with the design before Ariens Bought the Tractor Line that became the Ariens GT series) was One company that produced a sleeve hitch that utilized the 3point Hitch rocker shaft, so all you did was UN-pin the Lower arms and Middle link and Mount the sleeve Hitch. If You really want a sleeve Hitch on the 982 That would be a design I would Follow that Utilized the 3point rocker shaft to raise and lower sleeve Hitch

The (A) frame 3 point to sleeve adapters really give You a Lot more control than a standard sleeve Hitch. . Just UN-pin adapter and You Back to a 3point hitch

The IH design team knew when the 982 was signed off for Production that they Intended to only use a Cat 0 3 point on it to compete with the other Super sized GT's from Bolens and Deere at the time

Those adapters lose a ton a lift ability, though.

The point would be to use the same Brinley-style attachments but on the 982. I agree with their decision then, but since Cat 0 is a niche thing mostly of the past, I'd rather just share sleeve hitch attachments.

Good to see a few users of it. Turns out the 982 has a 3 point (really a 984) and PTO, but lift links are spendy. I do see xtreme sells them, and might grab a set.

Here is what I used https://www.ebay.com/itm/224468627646 On the Xtreme 3 point Hitch These Arms should fit the OEM 3 point Rocker shaft as well I did Have to Buy the Ruegg Lift Links as well and That was Like $67.00 for the Pair. That if You want to Upgrade it to a Cat 1 and would Only end Up costing You $46 More then Buying the super Cat 0 Arms from Xtreme

And This Place still Make some 2000RPM PTO Implements https://befco.com/ That would work On Your 984

That's pretty cool. I think the PO is looking for the original CAT 0 lift arms and lower arms. Do you just use a bushing to attach CAT 0 implements then?

That would Probably work But since I have Both Cat 1 & Cat 0 arms I haven't tried it

I think Farm & Fleet sells a bushing, or if you had a lathe it would probably be simple to make.

Online I don't see a 1 --> 0 one from Farm & Fleet, but TSC has them cheap. Might be a good route to go if he can't find the original ones, but I also have a IH 284 w/ 3 point
