[QUOTE="John SD, post: 854257, member: 14713"] I'm not real familiar with a VAC. But seriously, I'd rethink any plans to move round bales with such a small tractor . What do your bales weigh? You possibly might find or build some kind of pull type bale carrier that the VAC could tow, but I'm thinking that would be quite marginal. As far as I know, the Eagle Hitch was only availble for 1952+ model tractors. I've seen Eagle Hitches on DC and SC tractors. Can't say I've ever seen one on a VAC, but the VAC is a rare tractor around here. Saw a good runner once that wasn't pretty to look at sell at auction once for $140. The buyer used it to rake hay for years. Never changed Eagle Hitches around myself so I don't know how much of a job it is. Looks pretty straightforward but maybe some parts are rusted together after 50 years. I have two 1952 DC tractors with Eagle Hitch. I have another 1952 model DC with only PTO. I have a couple 1950 models. Everything is different on them. Although there is a lift system available, Eagle Hitch will not mount on pre-1952 models. I don't know if it applies to all Case tractors of this era, but you can determine the model year of a DC from the serial number located on the dash under the battery. Subract 4 from the number. For example a serial number starting with 56 indicates a 1952 model. The differences between Eagle HItch capable tractors and older units is readily apparent when you compare them. 1952 DC models also all had live PTO. Pre-1952 models did not. Here's a pic I found at ytmag of a VAC with Eagle Hitch. As with a lot of old tractor questions asked here, a person might get more knowledgeable results from a place like ytmag which specializes in old iron.
