ISO: Woods backhoe 3ph top link components

The side braces for the enhanced toplink I showed above at 17mm thick. On the toplink, there is a 3-piece adjustable sandwich of steel. The 2 outer are 12mm thick, and the other one is 15mm, with a welded-on 22mm strong-back to give it a Tee cross-sction. Very strong.

I have a couple of the toplinks and sidelinks left. I have made 3-pt hitch arms out of the side links, by welding heim joints onto the ends.

Thanks for the measurements! I was deciding between 5/8" and 1/2" steel but hearing that settles it. I agree shipping from CA to VT would be cost prohibitive, I'll fab something up soon and try to post a few pictures in case anyone is interested.
