400 Series Adapters
Changes from 1973
to 1974
The rear hitch assembly on the 400 series tractors (S/N
41001 and up) has been redesigned at two points . . . (1) the rear lift assembly, and (2) the drawbar draft arms. Also, because of the dimension differences between the mechanical and hydrostatic transmission cases, two adapter kits are available. Each is shipped complete as a drawbar and lift assembly.
