d14 3 point problem

Not sure if I posted this right the first time. I'm having problems when I attempt to hook up a blade or brush hog. As I raise an implement it wont raise level, it always wants to roll the attachment forward or backward. I have adjusted my top bar in and out and can mow with a brush hog but when I lift it to travel the front of the mower will come up but the rear wheel will still be dragging on the ground. The geometry just doesn't seem right.
 
I had d14 with a 3 pt attachment hitch.

It worked fine, I had no problems lifting the Bush hog.

Can you attach a picture of your 3pt hitch with the bushhog attached.
 
A standard top link such as purchased at TSC is too long to work properly on my D14. I cut the body and the threaded section of the top link about 8" shorter and welded the body back together. Now it works well with adjustment in both directions. That describes the way mine was acting beforehand, the back of the implements would only pick up slightly.
 
Depends on which adaptor kit you have. Some came with 2 locations for the toplink pin, sometimes a shorter toplink was used. For best answers, post a picture of the toplink area, on your tractor.
 
I"ll try to post a pic tonight, I have already cut down my top link and it worked better but it still isn"t like it should be. The idea of the top link location has always bugged me, it seems like it should be farther up. Thanks , I"ll try to get pics up tonight.
 
This a picture of my top link, does it look like it should?

Top link looks normal. Seems like you should be able to adjust it to get what you want. Without some serious fabrication you aren't going to get the top link mount bracket any higher. In fact that's higher than some I've seen. And it looks like it's higher than intended! It looks like it has bent up around those bolt heads. The bracket I recall had a reinforcing plate going down to those two studs that are supposed to be holding the PTO guard.
 
Look at the back of the bracket, it's bent upward. Several of this type bracket were made by various manufacturers. The best, use the seat bolts, the front differential bolts, and the 2 smaller bolt holes, that originally held the PTO shield on. Te one I like best was made by worksaver. Yours could be straightened, and strengthened, by adding a plate, that goes down to the PTO bolt holes.
 
This is the first Allis I have ever owned so I don't have a clue as to what that mount should look like. I saw the bend but didn't know if it was supposed to be there or not. Do you know of a parts source I can use to get a better one or should I just straighten this one and beef it up a little?
 
I have been wrong before, & probably wrong this time too. IIRC, the top link should be parallel with the lower links, or even a bit lower in front.
To save a lot of cutting, welding, bending etc, make a 4 sided mock up out of scrap 2x4 lumber. Match as close as possible the dimentions of the lower links, top link, height distance between lower & top pins on mower, same on tractor. Put just one nail at each joint. Move it around to simulate lifting action, then adjust tractor end of top link pin(nail) to get desired results.

When using a brush hog, I always use a chain for the top link. It can be adjusted easily and prevents the bending of "things" (your top link) when you are on uneven ground and get into tight spots.
 
The top link hookup on my 1957 d-14 looked different from yours.

Mine attached under the seat, but at the edge of the differential, where yours goes up, mine when down and the lower bolts were attached above the pro.

The top link attached about even with the top of the differential housing. This would change the angle of the top link. My 3 pt hitch always raised the implements plenty high.
