I have had my Ford 7000 tractor for about 5 years. A couple of weeks ago the adjustable shaft that lifts the 3pt lower arm broke. The part is the shaft with the threads on the bottom and a gear on the top that is between the fork holding up the arm and the housing that is used to adjust height. I had it welded with a sleeve around it to increase the strength of the weld. It only lasted about 3 days using a spring tooth harrow before it was almost broke again. I bought a new resplacement assembly, after market. I have only used it to bring the harrow home from a neighboring farm about 3 miles and I see it is already bent pretty good.
I have used this tractor with many implements including snow plowing with a back blade which I would guess puts the most stress on this part for several years with no problem. It appears that something is binding to cause this kind of stress just carrying a load. When the arm is not loaded I can pick it up myself so I don't know what is going on here. Any ideas? I need to get some work done.
