L/LINK MASSEY 2 HOLE

The 2‑hole lower link end (ball or swivel mount) for Massey / MF tractors is the component at the tip of the lower lift arm that connects to the implement via a ball or swivel mount using two bolts. In this design, the ball (or mounting plate) is attached to the end via two holes, typically spaced to align with the implement’s bracket. This provides a simpler, lighter interface compared to multi‑bolt (4‑hole or more) types, suitable for lighter loads or specific implement designs.

Key aspects:

• Bolt Pattern & Attachment: The two holes are typically aligned horizontally (or with a slight offset) and must match the bolt spacing and bolt diameter of the implement bracket.

• Ball / Swivel Interface: The lower link end will have a bore (ball diameter) that matches the implement lug (e.g. 22 mm, 28 mm, etc.).

• Material & Durability: Made of steel with adequate thickness to resist bending, shearing, and fatigue under dynamic loads.

• Fit & Alignment: The slip or tail portion (if it’s a slip‑in type) needs to match the internal width, thickness, and alignment of the lower link arm. Misalignment or play can lead to rapid wear.

• Load & Application: Because only two fasteners hold the ball mount, the design must ensure that these two holes and bolts can handle the shear & bending loads during use.

• Maintenance: Check for elongation or cracks near the bolt holes, bolt loosening, and wear of the ball interface. Replace when wear is excessive.
