DELUXE THREE-POINT LINKAGE
The tractor’s three-point linkage is used to attach
three-point mounted equipment which is usually
PTO operated, such as rotary mowers, tillers, flail
mowers, snow blowers, etc. The three linkage
points are the two lower lift arms and the top link.
The three point linkage lower arms ball ends can
be rotated to either category I or II size. The top
link has a category II ball end. When attaching a
category I implement, install one 25 mm (0.98 in)
outer diameter bushing
④
in the implement side
of the top link.
A special double diameter pin ⑤ for the top link
installation is standard equipment with your
tractor. Use the smaller diameter end of the pin
for category I implements and the larger
diameter for category II implements.
NOTE: Cycle the three point linkage through the
entire travel and check for any interference with
rear tires. If interference is present, adjust sway
bars as needed.
The three-point linkage has easy to adjust sway
bars
① to control lateral movement of the lift
arms. The height of the right-hand lift arm and
the top link can be adjusted by turning the
leveling crank
② . The flex ends of the lift arms
can be adjusted by pushing down on the clamp
③
, and placing the ends in the desired position.
