Description
When your 3-point hitch starts getting sloppy or you notice play in the lift arms, worn ball joints are usually the culprit. A loose connection between the lift arm and tractor frame makes it tough to control your implements properly—not exactly what you want when you’re trying to get precision work done. This replacement ball restores that solid connection and gets your hitch working like it should.
What You’re Getting
- Category 1 specification with 7/8″ pin diameter fits most smaller Ford tractors perfectly
- 1-3/8″ outside diameter provides proper clearance in the lift arm socket
- Durable construction handles the constant pivoting and stress of implement operation
- Direct replacement design means no modifications or adapters needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This ball is designed for Category 1 hitch systems, which you’ll find on Ford 8N, 9N, and 2N tractors, plus other utility models in the 20-45 horsepower range. These are the workhorses that handle everything from bush hogging and tilling to running small balers and finishing mowers around the farm.
Made to Last
Farm work puts serious stress on hitch components, with constant lifting, lowering, and pivoting under load. This replacement ball is built to handle that punishment, with materials and design that match the original equipment specifications for long-term reliability.
Good to Know
Installation typically involves removing the old ball from the lift arm—sometimes it presses out, sometimes it needs to be cut or burned out if it’s really stuck. A good shop press makes the job easier if you’ve got one handy. Check the lift arm socket for wear while you’re at it, as excessive play there will cause premature ball wear.
