3rd arm rest.

[retired007]

I have a 3930 New Holland that I bought used. It does not have a bracket or rest to carry third arm while it not in being used. I was wondering if anyone has this tractor and if so how they carry 3rd arm.

By "third arm," are you referring to the top link?

Considering the top link is the only one that generally has a retention bracket to hold it out of the way, I'd say that'd be the one.

Get a 6" rubber strap (or proper size to fit as needed), take the hook off one end and bolt it to the rear of the tractor someplace above the top-link/"third arm". When needed, wrap the link and hook the strap to itself.

Yes. That is what I am talking about.

And I was thinking you were talking about The Gripping Hand, by Jerry Pournelle.

Thanks. That sounds like it will work.

Talking about your top link on the 3-point linkage?? I just use a short chunk of rope and tie it up. The nifty bracket that was OEM isn't big enough to go around my after market hydraulic top link.
