1964 Case 440: 3-pt Hitch Top Link & Lift Levelers

I have a '64 Case 440 and all three adjustable links on its category 1 hitch are seized. I've gone as far as heating them in a coal fired forge to free them up and it's just not happening. They're done. I'm throwing in the towel and buying new. I need full functionality as soon as possible.

Currently, here are the seized dimensions center-to-center / hole-to-hole:

Top Link: 23.25"
Right Side: 19"
Left Side: 18.75"

Are there actual specs for the proper lengths I should have?

I'd really like to get Lift Leveling Box Assemblies where you crank them and it adjusts. Do they make these for RH and LH? What lengths are ideal for my setup?

I fabbed up the the toplink I needed for my 600 and then found the correct length one for my 300 at the local farm store. I believe the collapsed length for the E.H. tractors is like 18 and the one I found
was 19. I haven't had a problem yet. BTW I like you non-Deluxe seat setup. I would love to trade my torsion spring seat setup for that.

18 minimum collapsed length on the center link. IIRC the hitch control on mine says Draft-o-matic.

Do you have hand crank box levelers on yours?
 
My leveling links will we different than yours as you have actual 3 point hitch rather than eagle hitch. It is possible ford/ferguson tractor leveling links would work but I am only speculating on that.

I dont know either. Searching up Ford parts, they appear to be shorter than what I have now. Its a bit difficult finding stuff for this old Case.
