Re: (ET) Sleeve hitch

[SteveS <ssawtelle fcc net>]

Yes, you just need the U-part (14) and associated hardware.- basically 
the lower left part of the drawing. As you suggest,  I think the 
electric lift attaches right to the bolt (1).  My manual lift uses 
chains (28). The bolts (3) attach to the hanger on the ET.
