[AT] Three Point Backhoe

[Cecil R Bearden]

On the old Industrial Masseys there was a 2 inch round pipe bar that 
fastened at the top of the bracket that the outrigger cylinders attached 
to and at the loader frame about the front of the rear fender.   There 
were 2 of these bars. To transfer this same load to the top link would 
surely tear out the top link, or damage the controls.
