I put a after-market (came off a JD60) 3-point hitch on my JD50 but the way the liftarms slide onto the rockshaft the hitch will not rotate up far enough to lift an implement. If I rotate the liftarm around to another fit on the rock shaft to give it more lift, the arm is pointing straight up in the air alongside the seat. Seems like I need half a turn orientation on the rock shaft to give the liftarms the proper travel?? Any help out there?? Please!

Larry:
The lift arms off a 60 are to long for the 50 J D. You will have to find a pair from a 50. the distance from the rock shaft and the draw bar are shorter on a 50.

I have had a JD 3 point hitch from a 60 on my 50 for over 20 years. Before that it spent time on both an A and then a B. I use it mainly with a New Holland sickle mower, and sometimes to feed round bales in a pinch. (Tractor is really too light for round bales) If it doesn't fit correctly, I'm too dumb to notice. . .

I can't think of a reason for Larry's arms to fit in the position that he mentioned. Must be something odd about the particular hitch he's using, or perhaps there's a mismatched spline inside the Powertrol. I've never had one apart.

Try rotating the lift arms on (not around) the shaft; i.e., slide each one off, rotate it 180 degrees, and put it back on the shaft.
