I had to buy a new top link at TSC.

Yet again, I was puzzled at what you are supposed to do with the bar that comes taped to the side and is meant to turn the top link to adjust the length.

Are you supposed to just hammer these things in with brute force? They don't readily fit through the hole.

Hi Joe,

Yep, just hammer it thru the body hole. By it's design with those little "ears", it then will not fall back out.

That's what I did on mine. Unfortunately, after 7 years it now sometimes slips through one of the holes. Non a very good design ...

With the pin through both holes, tak a punch and strike around the hole it wants to slip out of to re-crimp it. It's worth a try.

I have one I copied from a an old timer. He welded round stock in a ring around the pin. It acts like a steering wheel of sorts. Been wanting to do the others but have not made time for it.

Added benefit is when needed you can really "heave-ho" on that thing when it gets stuck or you're doing some final adjustments in the field. Also, assuming your rig is shutdown while in the field you can adjust reach back and adjust from tractor seat.

FWIW

Allan :

Sorry I took so long to check back here, but no, all of my (known) relatives are in Michigan.
