Tractor
LS MT573
Have purchased LS 573 this year. Does anyone know if different size lift arm ball sizes are available? Tractor has 1" holes in current size but a lot of our implements use 3/4 size post to attach to. Most of our older tractors have 2 sets that can be switched.

You can get different size pins to put on your implements also, or just use adapter bushings as mentioned above. The easiest and least expensive way is to get a cat 2 to cat 1 adapter bushing kit. Your tractor probably has category 2 hitch and your implements have category 1. Category 1 has 7/8" lift arm pins and 3/4" top link pin. Category 2 has 1 1/8" lift arm pins and 1" top link pin.

You have a cat 2 3pt hitch - when using cat 1 implements you can use the bushings above. That's what I use. Can purchase at tractor supply and get extra and while you're there get a few extra hitch pins.
