3-Point Hitch TC30 - Needing 3 pt. hitch Top Link size info.

Mrvn · Nov 18, 2016

Recently purchased a 2004 New Holland TC-30. It is missing the 3 pt. hitch Top Link (p/n SBA370011590, but no detailed description). I want to look for one but not sure of the correct size. Can anyone help with measurements of the length when closed to shortest length, when open to extended length, and length of the center body portion?

Center tube body is 13" overall . The shortest I could likely get it would be maybe 19" overall , as each end is about 2.5" and one end has the floating lock nut on it . Longest would be ?? , Guessing maybe around 30" overall , as You would have maybe 5" to 6" of thread on each rod end to adjust in and out with .

You could go with something like this : Top Link, Cat 1, 13 Center Tube Length

Assuming You have Cat 1 as my TC30 is a 2003 and I run all Cat 1 implements . You could go with a slightly larger Body , maybe up to 16" , in a Cat 1 link , but you may run out of short overall length , ( Can't shorten it up enough ) . I did have a longer top link for a homemade implement I had obtained , but I later remodeled it thus to be able to use my original top link and also my homemade type quick hitch that slip onto the ends of the sway bars similar to Pat's quick hitch .
