lower 3pt links

NYTO-30

I have a 1954 to-30, one of the lower links is cracked and the other one has mounting pivot ball
problems.Can the pivot holes be rebuilt so the balls will stay in or would it be better to look for some used ones.
 
I believe you should look for different lower arms as I understand it the balls are actually prone to breaking if you heat and try to shrink or collapse the support around the balls.
 
Get new lower arms or have a certified welder weld on new ends for you.
Its not worth taking a chance of a ball breaking out an a Bush hog catch on a tire and it come up the tire after you.

Lower Arm end broke out on my friends tractor while he was Bush hogging, bush hog climbed up the tire an destroyed the tire before he could stop the tractor.

Be safe!!
 
On severely worn ends where the ball was coming out of the socket on the arm, I have taken a side grinder and cut a slot thru to the ball on the end of the arm. Then I took two hammers and closed the gap up and welded a piece of rod around the end. Used one for many years like that and never had a problem.
 
Thanks for the advice, I looked at them close last night, think I will look for some good used ones. Already did some damage to back fender with backblade, don't want the mower get away.
