I'm making the range 6in to 30in. Same as
on a 8N.

I measured fords and internationals.
I think the standard is pretty much 27 to 34in.
long arms, so I thought I'd make them adjustable.
For the lift arms I used 2, 2 1/2 X 5/8
mild (try to get a higher carbon if your not
hand cutting) steel 36in long.
I purchased 4, 7/8 ball sockets (ford) for 11 dollars each. I welded them on the ends.
For each 36in piece, i cut it off to give me when overlapped 27 inches long center socket to center socket. I then drilled 4, 5/8in holes 4in apart right thru both parts. The result is I have lift arms that give me from 27 to 34in length just by shifting the 2 bolts on each bar.

For the top eye, my tractor is a 30, so I
don't need the high strength. It's mostly a push pressure anyway. I'm going to use 1in threaded rod and make my own turn buckle type link out of 2 X 1/2in bar. You can get these cheap new at most dealers anyway ranging from 39 dollars on up.
This is got to be strongly welded as you can get
cold steel in the spine.
