Antiroll Device for TN

[Phred]

Sure is.
Called them up and it turns out a local guy stocks long shank 2 5/16 balls! Got one today.

It would still be nice to have an antiroll device. May need to breakdown and build one. Attached shows why the ones you usually see won't work.
The arms of this 3-point are ajustable. You pull the pin and the ends can pop out > 4" inches and move up and down a bit. Sure makes hookup of implements a joy. But that part of the arm is large both in vertical and horizontal dimensions. No way one of the antiroll devices will clear. The thick part of the arm gets in the way.

Also in the pic is the drawbar. Looks small in this picture but its substantial.

Of course I've seen lots of telescoping lower links, but don't think I've ever seen, or noticed, any with the pin like that before.

The small pull pin in the picture is attached to a larger block so that it doesn't snap off with the stress from the implement. The block is the size of the cup on the top of the arm and is quite heavy.

Robert,

Thanks for clarifying. Yes the pin is just to give you something to pull on. It dioes not pull out like a link pin, but is spring loaded to release the internal locking mechanism.
The locking mechanism is very strong, not just a small pin.

No problem. I had to tear mine apart once because it seized up and remember quite well what it looked like /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Take care.
