third party image

This is a picture of the cement mixer James is having trouble with. It bent the upper link when he tried to mount it. Not sure why, looks like it would be the right way to go????

The picture is over in the gallery section, 'Implement Photos' just in case my link doesn't work out.

Looks like a good setup. That toplink has to swivel where the wishbone bolts to the frame. Have to wonder if he bolted it tight or if it siezed. Could we get some more pics of the PTO drive? Simple and lot of adjustment the way it looks.

It looks like a homemade mounting, rather than commercial, built to standards. Nothing wrong with that, but all 3ph std measurements for height, width, pin diameter, etc. are at asae.org. Looks like 2-3 inch channel iron for the main frame, but the upper link looks like about the same diameter as the upper link pin. I would assume if all standard dimensions are aobut right, only the angle of the bucket would change from minor differences. I do question the 'sturdiness' of the upper link. I do have a tendency to overbuild, but the top link seems too light to me. Also question the 'downward' bend to the shaft.

Looked at the picture again - seemed like the bend would come from the lift arms raising too fast for the upper link to keep up with. OK- doesn't make sense, but that's my mind working! I think I question myself more than others do. Then I question the distance between the lower lift pins, and the top link mounting- it is low on the frame. Top link should be mounted top center on the standard 3ph dimensions, according to whatever mounting category you are using. Just guessing from the picture- the top link is mounted too low on the mixer frame.

JMS/MN for what it is worth I agree with you it looks as if the top link is too low.

I only posted the pic for James - I don"t know much about it. He asked here several days ago.

My view on it, with all the lower holes for adjusting the higth/ depth - this thing is supposed to level off, rais the arms & it will sort of over-center & dump, then lower the arms, and it will come back to level again? Does not explain why the upper link would bend tho, assuming the pivot points are left loose.

Or, could it be for an Eagle Hitch or some other non-standard type of hitch?

I always assumed that the Case Eagle hitch used the same standard dimensions for 3ph- just that the couplers on the end of the two lift arms had some kind of easy coupler/snap into position kind of thing, rather than needing to move the arm to the side and slip it over the hitch point. I think my neighbor's (SC Case) had an upper latch, so he could lift from below- but hey- I was only 15 at the time. I would still check the standard dimensions, then copy typical arm thicknesses, then say 'stuff it, let's go to St. George for a few beers!.

I've 'heard' the Eagle Hitch had a different mounting point, & so the top link just doesn't act right if the 2 are confused.

But, that might have been after a few at Klossner & I'm the confused part. :)
