New to the foru, but been reading for some time. I am the owner of a new to me 1979 B7100. When I got the tractor home I noticed (after reading for a while) that I was missing the 3 pt hitch lower arms. I read somewhere on this forum to purchase a set from Weavers (item # 7825-1112, 23.5 inch universal 7 piece hitch) - link is below.
Weavers 7 point hitch kit
I thought I had read that it would be a perfect match but something seems off to me. I noticed that the hydraulic upper lift arms on my tractor are maybe a Cat 0? The ID is only 1/2" while the ID of the ball socket on the connect arms is actually 3/4". Are my hydraulic upper arms the right size for this tractor or do I need to upgrade them to a Cat 1 setup?
Also, the lower arms seem really long, but maybe that's just me. Here are some pictures of my setup. At the end of the day:
Should I just get 3/4" to 1/2" reduction bushings and use the items I have OR get new hydraulic lift arms OR did I get the wrong 3 point hitch kit?
Help! (thanks!!!!!!)
