Need short CAT 1 Top Link

[nhinze]

I have a 12" inch body CAT 1 Top Link and I need a shorter one. I can't find any online. Anyone has a tip where I could find a shorter one?

Similar to this, but with 8" body or shorter?

My local farm supply store has some very short ones. But I've not measured so can't state for sure they are 8".

Are you a welder?? If so you could cut yours and shorten it.

If that's not an option and you can't find one, build one. If it's for a specific application it might not even need to be adjustable. Could be built from a piece of strong flat iron with holes drilled at the length you need.

You might have to make one that short, or alter what you have. The "ball" ends are only about $5 each. There won't be much or any adjustment legnth with one that short.

Could you use a length of chain?

Stevenstractor.com has a 9 inch one listed in a old catalog. Could you modify a category 0 one to work. They list the Category "0" top link at 7 1/2 inches.

I have 4 different Cat I toplinks hanging on the rack at work. The shortest is probably about 12" pin to pin at the shortest setting. The two shorter ones are sourced from TISCO.

I needed the same and found this. Expensive but better than JD!

Think ALL STATE AG has a 7-5/8 body length one.
