Need a little help to identify my 3 point.

I'm new to this and have read that Beavers usually
have class 0 or 1

How do you tell the difference?

Here's a picture of mine,
Thanks

Category 0 has implement pins of 5/8", and a top link pin of 5/8" as well. (5/8" is the same as a trailer hitch pin). Category I is 3/4" on the top link pin and 7/8" on the lift pins.

Some of these compact tractors have category I pins, but may not be able to lift high enough, or spread the lift arms apart sufficiently to properly attach, though.

Those look like they are probably cat 0 since the arms are straight without bends in them, but measure the ball inside diameters to know for sure like mentioned.

I can't tell the size of the pins by the picture but I can tell the lower arms need to be turned around so that the turnbuckles are on the outside. You need buy spacers to use on the pins on the tractor. They'll look like a short piece of pipe and would go between the ball on the arm and the tab for the turnbuckle.

100% correct, those arms are all messed up on wrong. Flip the arms over, put on, put a spacer(pipe) on, then the end of the turnbuckle to the outside.

You'll mess something up this way, and it will cost to fix.

Thanks for spotting this!

So I just remove the pins and rotate them to have the turnbuckles "out"?
Also, should the spacer pipe push the "end" all the way out to the pin?

I'm a newbie and got this off a guy who inherited it off his brother. Runs great but had a few things like this that needed "attention"!

Yes, just take one off at a time and rotate it and put it back on, don't swap ends. Put the swivel ball mext to the tractor, then the spacer pipe then the tab for the adjuster then the pin.
