I have an old AC model B tractor that had a home made hitch on it when I bought it.
The lift arms work well, the only issue is that the bracket on the tractor where I need to hook the top link is too narrow. The edges of the ball joint on the top link are the problem.
Does anyone know how (if its possible) to pop the ball joint out of one end of the top link? This would allow that end to squeeze nicely in the bracket. My first thought was simply to hit it pretty hard with a mini sledge hammer, but It seems like without bracing the outer edge of the link in some way that method will never work. Is there a trick to it? Is it even possible?
