Hi, Old Magnet.
Yep, the Cat 941 and 951 track loaders had the same arrangement, complete with shims to cater for wear so that you could keep the load concentrated at the drawbar pull point if wear occurred at the drawbar pivot pin under the transmission.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Yes, the 941 and 951 rippers are similar but only the 58Dxxxx series has the "U" model and 12Axxxx mounting group.
The draw bar pin and bracket was not used with the ripper attachments. Front connection was directly bolted to the case bottom where the drawbar pin bracket would be. Shims were used to give some leeway to the fit.
