OK, here's a picture of a lift cover on a 1955 640. I know it's supposed to be red but I don't feel like painting it.

I see you too have a broken center link hook up like I have on my 801/841 funny how that happens due to the fact people try to lift or pull to much

exploded diagram in the parts manual is pretty decent if you are looking for re-assy tips..

I've seen several of them broken like that. And the top hole is only supposed to be used for plowing.

Awhtx , (or awhtc)

Actually the lower hole is for plowing, upper is for light loads or position control. The rocker acts as a lever and the lower hole absorbs more torque before a reaction is triggered. I also used draft mode when I used a 2 row planter and I used the top hole for that as I wanted the draft system to react quicker.

I've always heard that you don't want to use the top hole for anything except implements which use draft control because the top hole allows more leverage to actuate the draft control linkage which can be damaged by applying too much force to it. I can see where you may want to use the lower hole for a heavy 3 bottom moldboard plow and the upper hole for a lighter plow or cultivator. But any other implement using position control should be in the lower hole so as not to overstress the draft control linkage?
I don't personally know for sure.

Awhtx,
It's really not a big difference but I know if I am using my slip scoop and use the upper hole then the top link will look like the attached picture! With my brush hog I use the top hole to keep the hog level.

Top link pictured would look that way whichever hole you used. That broken out hole probably resulted from a pin that had slipped out to point of engaging only the top link and the left side of rocker. Correct in using the top for "light' ground engaging implements. As far as your scoop, the top hole would have lifted it well before than if you used the bottom! Bad cause/effect conclusion there.

Jmor,
"Bad cause/effect conclusion there"
I don't think so!
While digging with a scoop on the rear going forward the scoop went in deep and folded in on itself, that is what caused the top link to bend.
I went back to the barn got another top link and hooked it up in the lower hole and went back to work. Dug just as deep and worked for another hour or so. No more problems. I had done the same thing in the 1980's. I just plain forgot. It cost me a top link! (((

The geometry of the 3 point changes with the hole you use. It doesn't take much of a change when you get to extreme angles.

Hi Tim,

I have a 55 660. I have quite few pictures of the hydraulic system. What pictures do you need and I'll see what I have and get them posted.

Sound like you are having problems. What's up?

Kurt

Here are some photos, Just ask if you need more.
