I have an MH50 - 1956. The adjustable arm on the 3 pt hitch has locked up. I can not turn the crank to raise or lower it. I have taken it off to try to clean it up & lubricate it, still no luck. Is this something that I can pick up at CT Farm & Family or will I hav eto go to a MF dealer? Can it even be bought new or will I have to look for a used one? Or any ideas on repairing mine?? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Frank, take the arm off of the tractor and set it upside down in a vice WD40 and some heat on the gear(top) around the shaft and let it set for a while then put a little heat to it, Not enough to get it red , just warm it up then more WD40, then apply pipe wrench to stem and work back and forth. took me about three hours to free mine up but it works like new now.

you should be able to pick one up at any tractor parts store. I got one for a friend because his wasn't long enough for his box blade. I think it was 20-30 bucks or so. make sure you get the right pin diameter and the extended legnth will work on your stuff

once you do get it free, or get a new one, I believe I read in a super 90 book, that you werent supposed to lube them at all, leave them dry, and they wont gum up. I guess a little rust doesnt hurt them, I dont know.

Please grease it! Most of them should have grease zerks on them. If it doesn't, you could add one.

The WD-40 trick may not work right away. I had a top link frozen on a 1100. I spent nearly a week with it soaking in penetrating oil. Finally it broke loose. Unbelieveable the ammount of rust that came out. I greased it and now it works fine. You should also check to make sure no one has welded it too. If you need a used replacement, try Tractor Implement Service 1-800-545-9967. David
