3 point on my 530 is worn out, (like the rest of the tractor :roll: ) a lot of it was bent and poorly welded back together when I got it. I have been breaking up my road and the excess play in all the pivot points is very evident with all the shock loading and chattering of the scarfer behind the tractor. specifically in the draft-o-matic linkage. what is the best way to rebuild all that? machine over sized pins and bushings on the lathe? I was thinking about buying something like this to get me started.

it looks like those stabilizers would work really good because the pin where the lower draft arm attaches is very long, and the stabilizers have a big spacer on it. it maybe was long for the old eagle hitch that it may have came with. I will try to post a pic tomorrow.
