3-Point Hitch 1520 3pt lower arms

[grainger12002]

Could someone who has lower arms on the 3pt (1520)model measure the distance from the post where they connect at the rear end-to the center of the hole where an implement hooks up. Trying to fabricate and need an idea of the distance or overall length.

Thanks in advance

Our 1520 Ford is 27" from center-to-center when measuring pin-to-pin on the implement and the tractor rear end. Your lower links will be need to be longer than 27".

Here's why: The lower links have slight bends at each ends. In other words, the lower links aren't perfectly straight. They are reverse-bent so that the links are wider at the implement than they are where the mount to the tractor. (This description was to clarify, rather than confuse.)
