Description

When your top link ball socket cracks, wears out, or breaks completely, you don’t have to scrap the whole top link. This weld-on ball socket provides a heavy duty alternative that lets you rebuild your top link right in your shop and get back to work. It’s designed to handle the constant stress and movement that comes with three-point hitch operations, and it’ll save you the cost of buying a complete new top link assembly.

What You’re Getting

Heavy-duty construction that’s stronger and easier to weld than machined ball sockets while costing about the same
1-inch pin diameter opening that fits Category 2 three-point hitch systems perfectly
Weld-on design that lets you repair your existing top link instead of replacing the whole unit
Quality steel construction built to handle the loads and stresses of farm implement work

Built for Real Farm Work

This replacement end works on Category 2 three-point hitches found on mid-size tractors from about 35 to 75 horsepower. These tractors typically run implements like finish mowers, small tillers, spreaders, and cultivation equipment where the top link takes a beating from constant movement and load changes. Whether you’re running a rotary cutter through rough pasture or pulling a disc harrow through stubble, this socket keeps your implement positioned right.

Made to Last

Farm repairs need to hold up, and this socket is built with that in mind. The heavy-duty design handles the twisting forces and constant movement your three-point system puts on the top link. It’s made from quality steel that welds cleanly and holds up to the punishment of daily farm use.

Installation Notes

You’ll need basic welding skills to attach this socket to your top link tube. Clean the old socket completely, position the new one square, and weld all around for a solid connection. Pro tip: Replace worn components in pairs when possible to ensure even operation and prevent premature wear of new parts.
