Hi folks. This place is always tops for helping with old tractor parts.
We are rebuilding my old 49 8N. And I need the long two diameter pin which holds the base of the top link rocker to the casting of the tractor.
The proper pin is about a foot long and is large diameter where it passes through the first casting on the tractor and through the bottom of the third link rocker, and the end is of smaller diameter(3/4 or 7/8 inch) where it passes through the second casting and accepts a linch pin as a retainer.
I have searched all the parts suppliers found via google, and none list this pin.
Any help in locating the proper piece will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
A note of explanation: When I purchased the tractor twenty some years ago, there was a short home made pin in this location with a spring clip in each end.
One night in the dark, I was out pulling a single point ripper with the tractor when I lost one of the spring clips and the third link base pin slipped to the side. Of course, the pressure of the ripper immediately broke the third link rocker and bent the shaft inside the large coil spring for the draft control.
I purchased a new third link rocker and a local machine shop built a new shaft to replace the bent one. But I am not putting her back together without the proper pin in the base of that third link rocker.
