Recently bought an 1855 and love it so far.... However, the lift arms for the 3 pt have some funky lookin' spring latch and finger aparatus on the ends..... Definatley looks like some parts missing there! My question is what would stop me from cutting the funky ends off and welding on new replacement ends that are a bit more standard? I have seen the ends at the local parts house so I am thinking it must be a fairly common practice. Anybody ever done this? Thanks, Paul

I agree with the others, DONT cut them off. Just go to a White/ Agco dealer and buy yourself some steel balls(for the tractor that is) Works great, love the system on my 1755, and once I get my 1600 going again will be sure to get another pair for that tractor, and for the other implements. Also, if you would cut those ends off, you would have a heck of a time trying to hook onto anything, as there is no give then for up/down motion, you have to have each one exactly lined up. With this system, you just bak up with the latches open, and pick up if the balls are already lined up good. otherwise, just have to push/pull one arm or the other over to line up. Once the balls are in the sockets, you just close the latch and go, unless you still gotta put on the 3rd link, which isn't all too hard or time consuming once the lower sockets are in.

I think you are refering to the is the arrangwement that allows the top of the arms to open so the balls will come out. This works just like the quick hitch things you can buy. Try using it to hook up an impliment and you will love it.

I agree with Vadave . I have three Oliver tractors and like the set up on the lower link arms for the three point hitch . I would not replace it . The other advantage of the Oliver set up is you can change ball sizes to accomidate category 1 , 2 and 3 impliments .

You bet! And if you leave the ropes on you can release the bottom arms from the driver's seat. Oliver did have a better idea!

The ropes on my Olivers vanished , rotted or somehow went missing long before I got them . I have one piece of a rope on my 1850 that I just leave on for sentimental reasons . Of course that tractor was a one owner , only had about 3000 hours on it when I bought the 1850 in 2000 and had the original air filter date stamped 1965 . I have since replaced the air filter .
