I bought a JD 2155 tractor last year. and only have used the 3pt hitch a few times. Well today I hooked up a 3pt post hole digger too it and it has alot of side to side play to it. The tractor is cat2 post digger cat1.
I dont see any sway bar control on it. Although it looks as if I would put cat 2 pins towards the inside it would take some of the slack out of the draft links so they would be closser too the sway blocks.
I hope that makes sense! maybe I am missing some thing on this used tractor or may be its normal I just dont know!

Teg I think the bushings are for proper pin sizing. My problem is the side to side movement. The draft links are not even touching the the sway blocks.

I was just reading that the telesping arms on the tractor are for Cat2 implements only. Do you think this could be the cause of so much movement? And it looks like the 2155 also had the option for reversablr draft links. Think this might be a solution?:confused:
