I have seen them broken off before and it has always been due to some clown towing from just one lug on the casting. They don't break easily but when they snatch at it and possibly not pulling in-line as well, anything can happen. I have also had one break when trying to remove the bush out of the center of the Top Link Rocker, they didn't warm it up and it was seized solid, so you can guess what would happen. You simply use the Top Link connection for most implements, if was meant to be attached on the hinged pin it would be a totally different fitting. Always attach your implements to the Top Link connection unless it has a different fitting than a normal top link. If you have any doubts about a particular implement, just email me with a picture of it if you can and I will be able to tell you. But to clarify, it doesn't matter if you are using the Draft Control or not, you nearly always attach the Top Link to the Draft Control Spring. It is made to operate like this. I say NEARLY ALWAYS because there are a few exceptions to this rule, but these implements are now few and far between. Draw-bar stays on a TO20/30 and TE models always attach to the Top Link connection, the picture I sent last time was for a TO35 and they attach to the long pin as in the picture, you could use these on your tractor if the Pin was not broken.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
