Hi All, I was at a junkyard recently to pick up a replacement block for my MF 135 and saw a JD A (Post '47 model) and I remembered how some people like to retrofit three points on the business ends of their JDs, IHs, etc. I guess my question for you all is this: If the principles that Harry Ferguson used to design this type of hitch linkage required the installation of a top link, which as everybody knows is a sprung plunger that actuates the pump to cause the 'floating' effect, wouldn't the bracket that is bolted onto the powertrol case break that holds the top link? I would think because of the pressure and stress that it would be under lets say while plowing would be enough to do some serious damage. I understand how it works on a tractor that was built for it (like my MF 135), but I am slightly confused as to how it would work on lets say on that JD 'A' which has the rockshaft, power-trol, etc. The reason why I ask is because after my Massey is fixed, I thought about saving the 900 bucks and buying it to fix up (it had a bad electrical system). Thanks everyone and on a side note, I hope your wife gets better Allan. Christos
