quadrant 'stop' bolt

[Steve (PA)]

The August issue of the Furrows has an article on restoration. It notes in the article that there should be an upper 'stop' bolt in the quadrant slot. My TO 30 doesn't have the upper one. Is it necessary?

I read that article and I was under the impression they were talking about tractors "with position control" at the time they were mentioning the top stop. As the TO 30 does not have position control you should not have a "top stop".

There is only one stop fitted to a T020 or 30 or a TE series, but there are occasions when you do fit two but you would normally be advised if this was necessary, only certain implements use it.....John

I reread the article and you're correct. It was talking about 'position control'. Next time I'll focus on the material so as not to be a dummy.
