SMA Cat 1 Forged Top Link Tube is the rugged replacement part for servicing the length-adjusting mechanism of your tractor’s three-point hitch top link. This 20 inch center tube is forged for greater strength than standard tubing, making it a reliable component for tractors rated up to approximately 45 horsepower. When combined with the appropriate ends, it creates a Category 1 top link that allows precise leveling and angle adjustment for implements like mowers, tillers, and box blades. Having a robust tube like this ensures that the most critical adjustment point on your hitch withstands the constant forces of field work.

When rebuilding your top link with this new tube, it is essential to purchase both a right-hand thread and a left-hand thread end to allow the assembled link to lengthen and shorten by simply spinning the tube. Always apply anti-seize compound liberally to the threads of both ends before screwing them into the tube. This simple preventative step is key to ensuring the link remains adjustable for years to come, preventing the threads from locking up due to rust and dirt.
