Gone plowin'

Just finished our corn today, hooked on the plow and tried it out a little before pulling up to shop to see about new moldboards, and it worked better than I ever remember. Everything was going fine, plow was staying in the furrow most the time, or i'd just pick up a little to straighten and drop down right away and keep going. All untill I lost a lynch pin. Don't know how or why, but I have problems keeping in the lynch pins. One side pulled out, causing it to drop out of that arm just as I was turning and going into the furrow again. dumped on her side and snapped the latch on the 3pt that stayed on. Now I can't plow till I get a new latch, and maybe some different pins. Second time it's dumped on me since we had the 1755 on it, and I don't know why I keep losing the pins???? Any idea's? I've tried ones that are a straight pin with the wire that wraps all the way around the bottom, as well as several other types, and they all come out, ussually before the plow dumps on it's side. Now I just gotta pull it up again and hook on once I get the new latch and then I can keep going, at least for now.

The key is to weld a rod on both side of the socket where the balls sit in. Currently your holders are worn and allow the ball to slip out. This is a quick and easy fix. Dont worry about "ruining" your 3 pt arms... they are already worn.

The problem isnt that the balls are falling out of the sockets, the lynch pins just keep coming out. I now have the cotter pin style Oliver used in their 3 pt assembly and so far so good.

I only work about 15 mins. away from Wis. tractor parts so i'll give them a call before I leave and pick up 1 or 2. Dealer wants $30, atleast they did last time.

Man they must have got the same idea as case about the latchs for the eagle hitchs on the case tractors. They are in the area of 60 to 70 the last i heard. It makes a parts tractor cheap when you start priceing the little bits and pieces.

I'm not familiar with case, but last NEW one we bought was $35. Went to Wis. Tractor today, bought what I needed for $25, including one rope and 2 of the pins like Ollie was talking about. We had a chance a few years ago to buy a 1755 with a freshly rebuilt then blown engine, but could have already used the rear end, one front spindle, and several other misc. parts. O well I guess, couldn't come up with the exact money at the time and then he sold it to the yard I go to now. Probly got 1 or 2 parts from it on mine now:)

I lost a lynch clip once on my 1850. I broke the support that holds the 3 point arm at the rear end housing. Now instead of lynch clips, I use a 7/16 X 4 bolt, and double nut it. That's not going to be flipped out by a cornstalk! Also, if you have the ropes on that pull the latches from the seat, take them off when you plow.

Had the same problem when I was still using in-furrow plow with 2-150. Snaped multiple of the ring types from several vendors, Then went back to the odd shaped "hairpin" style from White and didn't have another failure. They are tough as heck, kind of a pain to get in and out though. Watch how tight you're turning, and which direction, that seemed to make a difference also.

Yep, the large hairpin type is what I use. The large end lets you pull them out more easily.

Are those the ones that are on the 3pt arms on the pins conecting lift linkage to the bottom arm?
My dad mentioned something about having some of those around a while back, but never knew where they went

Yes. The secret is to get the really large thick ones and push them all the way on. No corn stalk will push them out. Like Ian pointed out, they are a bear to pull out with your hands but the ones with the large head come out easy enough if you pull hard and straight on them with a gloved finger.

If I cant walk the bone yard and get some, I may just steal the pins on the 3pt arms, and put the other lynch pins in their place.

I dont Know if this will work on your plow but grandpa had some equipment he only used a oliver on and he had the 3pt ball bolted on to the equipment permenantly insted of using the standard way Extra 3pt balls are easy enough to find

On my plow this would be possible, but on my other equipment I also use my Massey. Good idea though.
