No problem. I juse spent a LOT of hours on one and my vocabulary didn't
expand much....
The top arms on ours were spring loaded. The implement arm had sort of a
"T" at the top, with the sides being approx 1/2" round pins. The part on
the tractor clamped on that, only under spring pressure.
When we got the first WD-45, someone had added a tail wheel on the 3 bottom
plow because they couldn't keep running right. The bottom coupling was
mounted on a spring and there was a control from that mount to the
hydralics, which activated the "traction booster". (At least I think that
was what it was called, there was a guage right over the battery box).
In tough ground, a sudden pulse on the plow would cause the lift arms to
pull and the front wheels to head skyward! Our first WD-45 was a narrow
front and I sat the wheels down on top of the garden fence once.
There were times, in good dirt, when it would pull the 3 14's in 3rd gear,
but that is probably how we wore that thing out.
At least AC honored the pattend on the Ferguson 3 point hitch...
