Adjusting the Sway Links
No Parts Required
Procedure
Adjust the sway links on the lower draft arms of
the 3-point hitch to minimize side-to-side sway to a
maximum of 25 mm (1 inch) on each side.
1.
Adjust the lower links inboard until they contact
the blower mounting plates
Note:
This will reduce the stress on the pins.
If the tractor has sway chains instead of sway
links, install the washers between the lower link
arm and lynch pin to reduce the overhung load
on the lift pins.
