Fixed toplink hitting draft

[Matthew Rice]

I just wanted to post a follow up on my previous post about the toplink hitting the draft control yoke. I knew it didn't look right and I thought I was missing a piece that connected the toplink to the draft. When my father in law was over yesterday, I asked him what he thought about it and he said I could probably turn the yoke around and it would be out of the way. The yoke that attaches to the draft control spring was turned backwards so the bottom of the u-shaped part pointed to the back of the tractor (instead of nesting inside the yoke that is made into the tractor) and it the solid over the toplink, instead of the solid part being towards the tractor and the open part of the u being over the toplink. So now it works great. DavidP, Thanks for the response. Matt

I remember reading your post and it didn't make sense. Now it does as I recently had to put a new draft control plunger and yoke on my 135. I was a little confused after I had it apart but just pictured it in my head and put it back the right way. The bushings on the old yoke appeared to be splined and one of them took a lot of pressure to push out. The new yoke had a smooth bore but the bushings fit tight. Glad you got it figured out. Dave
