The list above is for reference. It is crucial to verify the mounting dimensions (35/135/125 mm).
The quick hitch is complete and ready to work. For installation, you will need the dipper arm pins (35 mm) and the locking key/wrench to operate the mechanism.
Never operate without ensuring the quick hitch is correctly locked and secured. An unlocked or improperly latched attachment (bucket, hammer) can detach during operation, posing a fatal risk to bystanders. Always perform a visual and physical check (e.g., curling the bucket against the ground) after every attachment change.
The 980/88451 mechanical quick hitch is mounted at the end of the dipper arm (instead of a bucket). Its purpose is to allow the operator to change attachments quickly using a wrench (without needing to hammer out the main pins). A screw or wedge mechanism tightens a jaw, which locks onto the bucket pins.

These are the critical mounting dimensions. 35 mm is the pin diameter (for the arm and bucket), 135 mm is the dipper arm width (space between the hitch ears), and 125 mm is the center-to-center pin spacing.
No, this is a mechanical (manual) quick hitch. This means the operator must manually lock or unlock the attachment (usually with a wrench or bar). It does not require an auxiliary hydraulic line.
Typically, the quick hitch is supplied as a complete unit. The main pins used to attach it to the dipper arm are usually part of the machine's standard equipment and are not included with the hitch itself.
