Thanks for the quick responses. What I'm worried about is an invisible weakness that could make it break sometime later. The V ripper does pull the front end of the tractor off the ground if it's really pulling hard and that's a lot of pull on the top link. I've had a top link break twice, both times on a three point boom and it's quite a sensational event for sure. Never thought about the stretched threads. I'd like to have it so I don't have to lug my guts out with a 24" pipe wrench to turn it. Jim

| Your top link is under compression when you are in a hard pull. The lift arms are doing the pulling, the top link is keeping it from tipping forward and out of the ground. I don't know how puncture-resistant your rear-end castings would be if it snapped just wrong.
