Ritchie Yard Scraper - A Frame hook up

patsy_mccabe

I bought a used Ritchie Yard Scraper and was hoping to hook it up with the A Frame I have. Problem is the top brackets for the top link on both items interfere with each other.
If I cut off the top toplink bracket from the scraper or the top 2 holes from the A Frame, I think it will fit. Seems a shame to do either.
The last owner deffo used an A Frame as the holes on the scraper were never used and the underside of the channel is well worn. The dealer I bought it from didn't know what A Frame was on it.

Anyone know?

The last pic shows the frame I made for the logsplitter that fits my A Frame..

You'll have to cut the plates for the toplink on the scraper. I'll hope I'm wrong but there's no other way imo.
I had to do the same with my scraper but had to cut the lift arm plates off as well.

Edit: Are you sure they interfere? It seems it was made that it should work.

They definitely inferfere. I'm not sure that I don't have to cut off the lift arm brackets either, now that you mention it.
What did the last guy do?

Mine was just for the top link and lift arms. And I had to cut the plates off to weld the frame on.
Don't know which type you have whether it's a teagle or an accord frame and tbh I thought they were the same but maybe look at that to see if it was the other one fitting.
The previous guy could have just had an ordinary top link on his frame and maybe you have the quick coupler on a hydraulic toplink that can't fit?

I have a feeling it was one of these Twose types;
