a maintinence question for someone with a manual.
The upper link for the three point hitch is equipped with an internal spring, presumably for shock absorbsion, there is a shaft running through the spring, mine snapped... and I am wondering what I am going to find inside after I take the cover off, does anyone have a pic? I don't want to take the cover off in the cold weather and find i can't do anything without ordering a new part...

There is nothing in that housing other than the spring assy. which will pull right out and a push rod to the Hydraulic controls, but that will not get in your way. You can get that part from Sparex as part S03350 rebuild it and JUST remove any play there is in the Spring assy when you tighten the large nut under the rubber cover. be aware of the grub screw that locks this big nut in position, use an Allen wrench on it and don't over-tighten it or you will damage the threads on the big nut. I can give you more information if you need it, email me at:-

and tell me what you need....John

You don't have to take the lift cover off to get to any of that. When I bought my TO-35 it didn't have a spring inside the housing, just a large bolt going into the rocker clevis. This will work, you just don't have any draft control. To replace your broken shaft, or spring you will have to remove the retainer nut with a spanner wrench. This will likely take some heat and penetrating oil. Try heating the bottom of the housing below the retainer nut because the housing is much thinner there. Also remember to loosen the set screw on the side which holds the retainer nut. Remove the bolts that rocker clevis pivots on as well. The whole thing will slide out. This sounds pretty easy and it usually is as long as the retainer nut isn't frozen too badly. I have had to cut one out with a torch.

just found it broken today, may have happened last snowstorm I recall hitting some frozen ground pretty hard a couple times while pushing snow backwards with a blade.
The shaft is snapped just inside housing, about even with the rearmost edge of the spring. spring is inside the housing , not outside...
Is there anything inside that might fall and cause a problem if I don't take it apart right away??... Thanks...

Yes, there is stuff inside that can break and cause a problem. Pushing backwards can break other things besides the rod inside this spring, such as the lift arms. It isn't a good idea to push backwards with these tractors at least not against anything solid.

Sorry, I didn't notice that you said it was a TO-35. I thought it pretty much had the same system as the TO-20/-30 that I'm familiar with.

That shaft that runs through the external spring is for draft sensing system. How did your's snap? If you were tryng to adjust the spring tension and snapped the shaft witha high torque you probably did some edamage to the internal linkage. If it just rusted through, then the internal linkage may not have been damaged.
You really need to get a manual for your that describes the hydraulic system. I would recvommend the factory maual and reprints are avaiable for about $20 + shipping on ebay and the folks on this site sell them also.
