A 2" or 3" receiver is my next project on my M931A2 tractor after I get my A/C compressor bracket...
I am looking at this setup as to be able to work around the tail lights.

Only thing is i wish when I bolted it to frame I would have used the bolt pattern for mud flap brackets. So mounting bolt went through hanger hitch then frame. Weld only hitch to frame making the mudflaps removable.

That would be great. I think I found a Class V off a wrecked super duty but they also had a 3"x3" receiver tube hitch off of a large flatbed Kodiak. Waiting to hear back from them. I would like to use one of those and just fab it to the truck.

I did the fab work on mine. I think in all I have about 60 bux in it. A steel shop near me sold me the steel. They have lots of pre cut peices. I have a friend that does eater jet cutting cut the slots for square tubing. I'll pm you it all to you when I get home tomorrow.

m931 drop hitch

Has anybody ever installed a lowered receiver hitch on a m931 tractor i'd like to tow a trailer but the receiver hitch needs to be lowered quite a bit to like 15' above ground- like the height of a pickup truck hitch

You asked this same question in a thread in October.

m931 hitch drop

There are several m923 hitch threads on here for a regular receiver for a civilian trailer to even hooking a gooseneck trailer behind a cargo truck. Trying searching "hitch" in the 5 ton and up section and the 5 ton hot rod section
