This is nothing new to the vast majority of YT members, but no one has brought up the subject in years so it was new to me. I feel like giving out a Homer Simpson "doh".
I noticed one of the lower lift arm balls was missing on my new previously owned Ford 4000. I had looked up about replacing them on other tractors and thought it might involve tack welding or peening a washer on the side to retain the new ball.
After studying the geometries I found that the ball could be slipped in by rotating it so that the cat 2 ball hole axis was vertical. I have seen lower lift balls on other tractors, but had not seen this feature before. I will have to replace the spring retainers as they are gone, but this sure saved time and effort.
Have other manufacturers gone to this method of ball retention and replacement? I just never noticed this before because the other old tractors I had previously worked with had not needed the lift balls replaced.
