can anyone confirm this is a bennet hitch? It's fitted to a mates case 1255 but think the hitch is originally off a fendt
Looking for a clevis drawbar it's 70 x 70 mm on the insert bit if anyone has a spare

If you only need a clevis hitch any 70x70 with the two holes same distance (if that model has two holes) will do unless you’re running a square baler maybe!!! It’s the hooks that get shall we say interesting as they don’t meet up with the keeper. It’s shocking how many drivers can mix these up and create a potential death trap!!

I know that I’ve used a clevis off a McCormick on a MF 62 as they were same size and fittment but the two hooks would not interchange.

He's looked into it and it seems 70mm is a bit oddball. 80mm is more common

Hmmmm, Dromones etc therefore are 80 and 90mm? Incidentally why the heavier 90mm ones have only one securing pin as opposed to two makes no sense!

It could well be an AXLA hitch although looks much better and stronger than their usual counterparts.

I wonder what the Doncaster built IH ones were, obviously imperial but if slightly over it would be easy to run one through a miller. They’re the only smallish square ones I can think of and maybe what was fitted to NH TLs etc
