3 Point Ball on my 231

DoubleR · Nov 5, 2014

I lost the round ball on the end of a 3 point arm. The ball that is attached to your implement when using the 3 pt.
I purchased a two pack yesterday with new clips. I installed the new one with a new clip. Good thing I got the two pack.
When I got done disking stalks today, with a transport disk, the new ball was gone. The new clip was still in place.
Any suggestions? Short of putting something like wire through the ball when the 3 pt. is not in use. I'm assuming its wore and not a tight enough fit for the ball to stay in place.

I had this problem on an old Ford 3000. With the ball removed, I added some metal to the lift arm hole with a welded in the worn spot, just enough to keep the ball in. Problem was permanently fixed.

Good luck.

I think if it's wore that bad, you're risking loosing the entire implement off the back some day. Would be real dramatic. If it wsa mine, I'd get new balls / ends welded on, not that expensive. Then keep them lubed or greased to keep down the rust.
