Did they really quit making these?

[High Lord Gomer]

Had a drawbar hopelessly weld itself into the end of one of the 3-point hitch arms:

It appears that the right and left are interchangeable so the other is not discontinued but I have been unable to find anyone that can even get one. Apparently they are backordered everywhere.

I looked a year ago and, in a hurry, ordered a Chinesium set from Amazon that were we like 3" shorter than the originals. I even had to grind the center "ball" to get it to fit in the mounting slot for the top/center bar. Just picked up a new fertilizer spreader and either need to cut down the PTO shaft by about 5 inches or hopefully find an OEM part since the sides appear interchangeable.

Am I really SOL or is there a place I could find one?

Cut the old end off and weld a new one on. Any decent welding shop can do that for you.

This is a replacement lower link ball end that is a category 1. This is a straight end lift arm pin and has a oil drip finish. Made with EN-8 med carbon steel.

Oooh! I can make metal stick together. I wouldn't stand under anything I welded but I might be able to do that.

Thank you!!

Are you sure you can't correct the initial issue?

Like, heating it, or cutting it, or air hammer etc.? Bigger hammer?

Depending on your location, at your local autoparts store there may be a product called Free-all in a spray can.You will be amazed. but you must let it soakin for at least 24hrs. spraying in on every 8 hrs.Not WD40 not PB blaster.
