Its on a Prevost but the principles are the same:
http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=8388.0
- 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

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
