The lower link ends (sometimes called lower link weld‑on ends, slip ends, or lower link assembly ends) are critical components in the 3‑point linkage system of Mahindra tractors. They form the interface between the tractor’s hydraulic lift arms (lower links) and the attachment points of implements (such as ploughs, seeders, cultivators, etc.).
Key Features & Functions:
-
Material & Finish: Usually made from mild steel for strength and durability, and may have a color-coated or surface finish to resist corrosion. Type / Style: There are slip ends (removable or replaceable) and weld‑on ends (requiring welding to the link arm).
-
Dimensions & Fitment: Typical dimensions include hole diameters (often 1⅛″), width (e.g. 2¾″ in some assemblies) and length between holes (for example, distance between holes 33¼″ in certain link assemblies
-
Compatibility: Lower link ends are manufactured to suit various Mahindra tractor models (e.g. 3535, 3540, 3550, 4035, 5005, etc.) and conform to specific category (Cat I, Cat II) linkage standards.
-
Load & Durability: They must withstand substantial forces while lifting or pulling implements. They are part of a robust system designed to transmit torque, lift loads, and maintain alignment under field conditions.
-
Replacement & Maintenance: Slip or weld ends are often replaceable, allowing wear parts to be changed without replacing the entire lower link. Proper welding (for weld‑on type) and alignment are crucial for long life.
