Slick Fix For Top Link Adjustment
 ✖  |
Wayne Beggs says a 3-pt. tractor hitch is one of the best inventions ever, but hooking up implements can be difficult unless a person has a quick hitch coupling device. The top link nearly always needs adjusting. He says the adjusting bolt on his tractor was always difficult to turn, but one day, he came up with an idea he thought would work.
Beggs located an old steel wagon wheel about 1 1/2 in. wide and just over a foot in diameter. He had a friend attach the wheel rim onto the top link, adjusting the bracket by welding two metal rods to the bracket and the rim.
Beggs says the wheel rim is easy to grip and lets him quickly adjust the top link for whatever implement he’s hooking to the tractor. He says it was a simple fix that didn’t cost much and was less expensive than buying a new top link with a long pin to turn the adjustment bolt.
