FORD 4000 ohio

2 years ago I bought a 1964 4 cylinder gas 4000 industrial backhoe with SOS that works. Its the light duty version. Last year i took off the backhoe to repair the one mount and tested the PTO pull lever it turns the pto, and the lift arms seem to work, but always seem to get stuck at the top but if you stand on them they go down. I put the backhoe back on and its decently easy to do so i was thinking of just swapping back and forth as i dont use the backhoe very much.
Problem is i dont have the lift arms or the leveling arms and most ebay aftermarket listings and even this site only say 1965 onwards. Will parts from a 65 and up work on the previous generation? I am also missing the chain to go to the arms but i do have the attachment point by the pto so i can just make those.
Can someone measure a 1964 or earlier lift arms and leveling arms eye to eye and post them? Or tell me if 65 and later 4000 arms will work?
Thanks js
