Wanted: Tow Hooks

[Barry Churcher]

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.
Stefan that looks like exactly what I am looking for. It says you have two in stock. Is there any chance you have a left and a right or are they both rights?

Paul that is a great idea. I never thought of graders having pintle hitches.

Colin I am a member of that forum and there is lots of Ford N tractor knowledge there. I also have that brochure and all the many times I read it I never picked up on the Holland name. Funny how you can make the same mistake over and over. The industrial tractor in the photo seems to be the only one in existence and is in New Zealand. There is an internet photo of one in a movie painted yellow and used by the US Airforce.

Gordon those style hooks may be the answer if Stefan doesn't have a set. The tractor will be a clone anyway so not historically correct.

Hi Barry,

I had a look in the shop, I have a set for you (left and right)

Can throw it in the mail today if you want!

The Holland hook referenced by Colin is common enough that its on ebay, not dirt cheap though at nearing $600 Canadian.

They also have something similar and cheaper with the rope release.
Both early Dodges and Internationals had a swivel base and rope release pintle
....old junk yards might be a source but nothing near TO or any other smelter center........ wonder what Rob Love would have????

Cheers

Barry, have you tried Taylor Truck Wreckers near Mount Albert, On.? They may have the hitch & the hooks.

[Barry Churcher]

Thanks Jack I never thought of Taylor's as I haven't been there in years. I will give them a call.
