This link and bracket assembly connects the lower links of the three-point hitch to the tractor chassis, providing the pivot points for the lift arms. It transfers the lifting force from the hydraulic lift cylinders to the implement attached at the rear. Wear in the link bores or bracket bushings introduces play in the hitch, causing uneven lifting and side-to-side drift of the implement. The original AGCO part is machined to the same pin-bore center distance and bushing interference fit as the factory assembly, so no shimming or reaming is required during replacement. On installation, inspect the pivot pins and replace them if worn to prevent accelerated bushing wear.
