You can buy the parts at a salvage yard or on E-bay. The snap coupler is not too expensive, but the latches can get salty. Bob

Find a set of lift arms while you are at it. That way you won't have to cut the ends off of an original pin hitch set. There are people out there that have early CA's converted and don't realize the lift arms have been cut down.

The drawbar and the drawbar mounting brackets will be the hardest to find and most expensive. The lift arm latches are remanufactured by one of the venders on this site. I have a snap-coupler CA and it is a handy little unit. Happy hunting.

I converted my '55 pin hitch CA to snap coupler . Since the rock shaft arms were already modified I am not too sure it didn't start out as a snap coupler and was converted to a three point as the rock shaft had brackets welded onto it for a top link. When I got it there was an aftermarket pin hitch style three point set up on it. All the snap coupler parts bolted up without any modifications.
