Need some input on hitch for MCI C-3 Universal bolt on? welded custom made? Fasten to frame below engine ? Ideas please.
Beatenbo,
I custom made my hitch on the C3, and bolted it to the lower rails of the engine cradle.
I'll take some pics. tomorrow for you and post them.
Nick-
Sounds like Nick made his hitch much the same as we made ours. Here are a couple photos of ours
Hmm, just posted a reply to the same question by Tim.
Here's what I did on our MC9. Probably similar.

Great photos Jack, Thanks
Most use car dealers have a few receiver hitches lying around that they have removed- I bought 2 for $20 that all they needed was the brackets to be sized and rewelded to fit the bus-makes agreat start. I have a 2" receiver that the P/O had installed. I'm adding a second small receiver 12" offset to the drivers side to pull my VW toad so I can see it out of my mirror and not drag it over mailboxes and the ditch-
Heres a photo of a super nice bus (I think its a MC7) with lots of great ideas-I made this pic at the Conyers Ga bus rally a couple months ago.
I really like the dual hitches and the lights incorporated into the air scoops- Its hard to make out the tag, but it says "HOUND"
now, that cooolllll..........
Beatenbo,
Here are thoose Pics. of my hitch on my 102C3.
