I have a 1938 Allis Model B. I put on a 3pt hitch. I can't raise the implements high enough to get them off the ground. The problem seems to be that my top link is too long. The shortest position is 20 inches. I need one about 10-12 inches at the shortest setting, but can't find one anywhere. Any idea where I can buy one?
Thanks

Had the same problem when I got a 2pt to 3pt kit for my Farmall 200. They do make a shorter top link, approximaely 16" in length for the body, not counting the eyes. I found mine at a PartsPlus auto parts dealer who specializes in farm & tractor parts. Send me an e-mail, and Ill try to find out their source.

Some of the older top links are made out of two bars bolted together with a ball connector welded onto an end of each bar. The bars have a series of holes so a couple of bolts can hold them together and the length depends on which of the holes you use. We've made short links by sawing the bars shorter and drilling new holes to get the length we want. Also made a link from a piece of 1 1/4" pipe. Flattened one end and ground it a little to take one of Central Tractor's weld on ends and welded a big nut on the other to take an end with a bolt already attached to screw right in the nut. Central used to have those also. I think we turned the end of the big nut a little so it would slip in the end of the pipe for welding. We made several top links this way so we wouldn't have to change the length. Each 3 ph implement had its own top link that stayed with the implement.
