Interesting, Glenn. How does it work and is it effective?

It is adjusted to push the lever back to neutral as the three point goes down. We used it manley with a tool bar cultivator when we didn't want the weight of the bar on the gangs. It also came in handy with the side mounted corn picker. Last time I used it was 1967.

Symple and nice tool.
Could it help to raise the lift when the arms drop because of leaking?

Hi Glen
The guy that sold you that paint as Fordson blue was color blind take it back and complain :eyes: :run: :lol: .
That's interesting that this linkage turned up in the states. I wanted one for a tractor of mine, I saw some on the net for sale around Christmas time in the U.K, but the guys would not ship to me :cry: . I guess i'll have to try some wrecking yards south of the 49th :idea: . Thanks for posting the pictures and looking forward to see more progress pictures of the tractor as you work on it :wink: :) .
Regards Robert

Robert, if you see any more things like that on ebay, let me know, I could buy it for you and then ship it to you if you like :D
