RE: (ET) hitch

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

More on the sleeve hitch.  I figured out the mounting.

To add to the confusion, I am going to quote on the "Elec-Trak Attachments 
& Accessories for All Tractors" brochure.

Sleeve Hitch  AP50  Fits E20, E15, E12.  
Takes all implements built to industry standards for sleeve hitches.  {But 
how does it work?}
Easy to attach with two bolts.  {note:  this is true}.  
Can be used with electric or manual rear lift (AP59, AP58) {It BOLTS to 
the rear axle mount, not the rear stabber!  My error!

Electric Rear Lift  AP59
Fits E20, E15, E12, E12M.
Quickly mounts to rear stabber {note:  this is true}
Plugs electrically into its own outlet.  {Provided}
A flick of the switch lifts or lowers attachments.  {Yep}
Can be used with all sleeve hitch attachments, and other attachments 
requiring rear lift.  {I guess so}

Now, what is the roller on the vertical pin of the sleeve hitch for?

Larry, are you sure you use a sleeve hitch, the tiller uses a hitch
kinda like the snowblower, than you can use the rear lift.

I should have been more clear.

The tiller has a 'Toolbar' hitch; a round 5/8" or so bar 3' long attached 
to supports on the rear axle.  The electric LIFT for the tiller goes into 
the frame rails.  I know how that one works.

The 'Sleeve-hitch' slides into the frame rails the same place the electric 
lift above fits.  It's black, and has a heavy round bar running through 
it.  It ends in a single vertical hole, two mounting bolts, and the roller 
on a bolt going through the vertical hole.  I see where the implement 
mounts, but not how any 'lift' is provided for.

I don't think it was intended to use the 'toolbar' (or tiller mount) at 
the same time as the sleeve-hitch.  I don't think it has to come off, but 
it doesn't seem related.
