Adjustable lifting link for Cat 1 TPH

[scrappy isb67]

I want to use a new ball on the end of the adjustable lift link I'm building, but I can't find replacements. Cat. 1 weld-on lift arm balls are easy to find, but they have a 7/8" hole. The pins on the rockshaft arms are 3/4" and I can't seem to locate weld on balls with a 3/4" hole.

If push comes to shove, I can always replace the pins on the rockshaft arms with 7/8" pins and use the weld-on lift arm balls.

cat 0 balls?

Cat 0 lift arm balls are 5/8" bore. These balls are in between Cat 0 and Cat 1

Well, I finally got around to building my adjustable side link. I used a racheting load binder with a foldable handle. Cut the eyes and hooks off and welded one end to the yoke for the lift arm and welded the other end to a ball joint. I have about 1" of up adjustment and about 6" of down adjustment.
