Cleaning up 1700

California · Oct 4, 2010

The short adjustable upper link and the 'bridge' (my term) that extend back from your tractor, that is, everything in carey's photo, are specialized Yanmar parts to hook up a Yanmar tiller and lift it in a way that doesn't hit the tires.

In contrast, a Universal 3-point hitch, used on nearly all farm tractors since the days of Harry Ferguson (1939?) has a single longer link in place of those two Yanmar components.

Here is Hoye's diagram.

Sorry about that this is all it is.Looks like you have a Ghetto Rig of a toplink mount on your Mower. That is why they have the Tiller Top Link Backet on there. Get a longer adj. top link and just use your pins if you have other Implements. And yes keep up with the top link to the Tiller they can be hard to come by. Here is a Pic. of my Grn. mower setup

And Chck your PM.

Oh Yeah Brandon also on your arms hitting your ROPS there should be an adjustment on the Left arm that when you want to keep them from hitting you can adjust the BLK. handled control to release pressure on the valve when it has gone as far up as you want it to go. Raise it up and watch the pin on the valve and you will see what I am talking about.

Oh I wondered what that gadget was for. When I was loading the tractor with the mower attached I had to lift the hitch all the way and the pump made a weird noise and belched some fluid out onto the ground almost right under the front axle on right side. That's when I realized the hitch was hitting the ROPS.
