3pt sway bars

[Anonymous Poster]

My 1720 has outer 3pt sway bars. Turnbuckles really. Unfortunately, I have a couple 3pt pieces that clamp over the 3pt arms right where these turnbuckle bolts attach to the 3pt arm. I would like to find some sway bars that attach to the hole closer in towards the tractor, 2" shorter. Any available?

I was just going to replace the one end of the turnbuckle with a shorter piece - but they turn out to be 14mm metric threads, left-handed, and this turns out to be difficult to find!

Guess I'll have to start fabricating if I can't find anything on the shelf. Could have been easy, but never is...

Go to Mcmaster Carr Search for 98817A280. 14 MM left hand threaded rod $14.76 each.

Don't know what you need on the end for a fitting.

Why not just cut the existing piece down? Or order a spare part from New Holland & cut that down if you want to maintain the originals.

If you've got a picture or sketch of the setup, we can provide more help.

Good luck.
