I have a Farmall 504 and just bought a 3 point post hole digger for it. The 504's 3 pt lower arms won't raise high enough for the auger blade to come to the vertical. The center of the holes on the lower lifting arms, the ones the yoke's pins go through, measure 27 inches from the ground maximum. The sway chains don't quite become taut so that is not the reason the lower arms don't go higher. Could someone with a 504 measure the distance from the ground to the center of the holes in the lower lifting arms on their 3 pt hitch. Thanks in advance

Jess,

Look underneith the backbone of that digger. There should be a series of adjustment holes that will let you adjust the hitch yoke portion of the machine either forward or backward.

Moving the yoke adjustment "towards" the tractor effectively "shortens" the center link arm and raises operational height of the digger.

The actual height of the tractor's hitch is dependant upon the tractor itself and size of tires. My smallest tractor measures 32" when in the raised position.

A shorter top link will give you the increased height for that auger much easier than raising the lower links. I once had a Farmall 504, it's been 25 years, so I don't remember the exact height, but 27" sounds reasonable. Tightness of those chains can depend on the width of implement lower link hitch point, 3 point hitch isn't an exact science

Many of those items like augers were built by aftermarket or shortline companies. I've never seen them get a 3 point to specs in all my many years of farming. I'd modify the implement before touching tractor. I'm betting your 504 will work perfect on every mower, disk, plow, etc. that IH ever built. I'm betting it will do the same on implements built by JD, MF, Ford, etc.
