  • Publication number: 20050115723
    Abstract: A coupling hook (5) for a lower steering arm of a tractor (1) has a hook body (7) with a bearing recess (8) to receive a bearing ball (6) of a to be coupled implement. The hook body has a recess (9), a through hole (10) between the recess (9) and the bearing recess (8), an exiting aperture (11) connecting to the recess (9) and open to the exterior, and a first support element (12) and a second support element (13). The second support element (13) extends through the exiting aperture (11) and separates the exiting aperture into a first opening portion (14) and a second opening portion (15). A locking pawl (17) is movable between a locking position, where it projects into the bearing recess (8), and a detaching position, where it is retracted into the through hole (10). An adjustment element (30) engages the locking pawl (17) and acts on it to take up the locking position. An opening lever (26) is pivotably connected to the locking pawl (17) and is movably supported on the second support element (13).
