All, thanks for the help, I'm not new to mechanical work, but I am new to tractors and I think the terminology is confusing me, so many different terms on the internet and different parts of the country apparently. Every diagram uses different terms. Redman and Leejohn, I'm still not understanding what you are saying in post #'s 15 and 16.
Where you say "mount the fwd mounting point down on the same C/L as the fwd pin of the lower link mounting pins then the 3pt can move all the way up without pulling on the lower links." That isn't clear what you are saying about the C/L. Also, is the term "stabilser" the same as "sway chain" in these comments. I apologize, just isn't clear and I know it's me not understanding.
Also, you said the stabiliser (sway chain) is mounted too high, I didn't think that was adjustable.
There are 3 holes in the lower link, when I bought the tractor the sway chain was connected to the aft most hole in the lower link, and I assumed the lift arm (the arm that actually lifts the lower links) could attach in either of the other two holes.
Are you saying that the stabiliser (sway chain) connection on the tractor, near the wheel, should be at the same level as where the lower link attaches to the tractor?
Also, I don't have a draw bar and no photo from the right side, but I will check when I go back out there, and take a photo.
Sorry about all the confusion.
