Top link extension on the tractor.

   / Top link extension on the tractor. #61  
I had the issue with my hydraulic top link being to short. Lucky I'm a maintenance technician and have access to a shop with milling equipment. This is what I came up with.

Thanks for posting all these ideas and pictures. I'm building my pin on extension today.

That takes care of the overall length being too short. Does not change the range of motion in/out of the hyd top link. I assume you have as much range as you need ?

Far as I can tell the range of travel is okay. The worst one was a rake I modified for the last tractor.
Anyway the fix today is pin-on so it can be removed if needed. And I can move it up or down and flip it over for different heights.
