On some yes, others no.  If the hitch is mounted to the frame then no.  If
there is a linkage between the ram, rear wheels, and hitch then yes.

Most of it is.  The King Kutter brand is made in Italy.

After I rebuilt the lift cover on the Ford 3000 it needed to be adjusted.
In the process I cut the PTO shield in half so I need a new shield.  After a
little research I found that it is a European safety design and few places
here have parts.  TSC claims to have the parts but I cannot find them at the
store here in Asheville or in the catalog.  A place on Mountain Home, AR has
a shield that will work and if nothing else I will get one of those.
