'61 Super Major Top Link Rocker

Post by dave91 »

Hi all,

I have just bought a top link rocker for my May 61 Super Major. My question is the top hole in the rocker is round and looks unworn, the holes through the draft yoke on the top cover look unworn aswell but they are round holes with 2 flat sides. The link below should explain it better.

See top picture on link - http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb ... hp?p=29703

My question is do I need a special pin or bushes to fill the flats in the draft yoke? I presume the bottom rocker pin that goes through a bracket onto the back end of the tractor is just a standard pin as it can go in 2 holes depending on draft application.
Were they originally pins with a lynch pin through one end (such as a drawbar pin) or pins a split pin either end such as in the link above?

Thanks.
Regards,
dave91

is it not a slot to allow the rocker to move otherwise it would lock up or put strain on the draft control?
just an observation
