When your three-point hitch isn’t sitting level or you’re struggling to get implements adjusted just right, it’s often this left-hand level rod causing the headache. The leveling box is what lets you fine-tune your implement’s working angle and maintain consistent depth. This replacement rod and yoke assembly gets your hitch geometry back where it should be, so you can spend time working instead of wrestling with stubborn adjustments.
What You’re Getting
- Precise 5/8-inch bore and 3/4-inch coarse thread for secure, wobble-free operation
- 13-3/8-inch length designed specifically for Category 1 hitch geometry
- Heavy-duty construction that handles the constant stress of lift arm operation
- Direct replacement for worn C5NNN673A parts with no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This rod fits Ford tractors with Category 1 three-point hitches – the workhorses you’ll find on farms everywhere running everything from bush hogs to box blades. Category 1 hitches are found on smaller to mid-size tractors typically used for hay operations, livestock work, food plots, and general farm maintenance. Whether you’re trying to get your disc harrow cutting evenly or keeping your mower deck level across rolling ground, this is the part that makes fine adjustments possible.
Made to Last
The threads are cut clean and true to handle repeated adjustments without binding or wearing prematurely. The yoke end is machined for a solid connection that won’t develop play over time. This isn’t a part you want failing when you’re halfway through a field, so it’s built to take the punishment that comes with real farm work.
Installation Notes
Check your old rod’s condition before removing it – if the threads are damaged, clean them up before installing the new one. Apply a light coat of anti-seize compound to the threads for easier future adjustments. The left-hand rod typically sees more wear than the right, so don’t be surprised if this side needed replacement first.
