L2050DT Re-powering

[North Idaho Wolfman]

Ever source says that the 3 point is a Cat 1, but the lift arms are 3/4" in thick, and 2 3/4" wide,,Cat 2.

CAT specs have nothing to do with the width and height of the three point arms, it only has to do with the eye hole size at the implement end of the arms.
You will have CAT 1 arms on that tractor... Well that is unless someone grafted on a set of CAT 2 arms, but I couldn't see someone doing that... at least not for any logical reason.

What is the eye hole size of your arms?

Wolfman; Size of the pin;
Appears to be 'about' .865. I don't have quick access to my mike, and using a 'slip stick'..calipers..is fraught with errors. I could not figure out the formula for different hitches, thanks for the quick lesson.

My first quick reaction was.."'bout 3 inches'..till I realized that there WAS another end to the arm...duhhhh

D2; Yet another stupid moment..as you suspicioned, I ACTUALLY meant that the sway chain bracket was busted....
Ref; The drag link. I hope to find a threaded connector, splice one end over the drag link bar, use the threaded end for replaceable tie rod ends..just in case this tractor actually runs a few years !!

Yes, like North Idaho Wolfman said your link is missing the part that holds you implement pin. You can purchase just the end like shown in the picture and weld it on your arm (of course AFTER you cut off the existing piece at the correct length).
