Its on a Prevost but the principles are the same:

- put something solid across the back to carry the weight
- run something ahead to do the pulling
- bolt it on so everything has some flex

The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you.
Its the last thing but its still on the list.

Hi Jason,

Jack Conrad has nice pics of his hitch and I know he has posted pics of them a while ago but, I can not find them yet.

I know that the MC9's frame is different then my 102, so my pics may not help you.

Here is a photo of our hitch just prior to installation and an photo of it installed. We used grade 8 bolts with grade 8 self locking nuts to attach it to the bus.  Jack
