D15 3pt hitch rockshaft question

Was using a disc mower on dads series 2 d15 with factory 3pt and had trouble with the with hydraulic remote not lowering so in the process of bringing up and down the hydraulics became quite jerky and the rock shaft broke on the right hand side when looking at the tractor from behind. It broke at the end right at the round part where the link connects to the arms of the 3 point hitch. Anyone have a good one for sale and experience welding one?

Second problem is the hydraulics. This tractor doesn’t have a transport valve and was working fine previously. Should I check the linkage under the gas or somewhere else first?

Thanks!

That’s the correct the yoke broke right off. Have you ever seen one welded back together that held?

I’ve used the disc mower on the this tractor in the past and usually just go easy in like low second gear and try to be really mindful when lifting the mower. I only mow 3-5 acres a year with it. However after this incident it won’t be going back on the d15….

I've never had the pleasure of trying to weld one back together. If I did, the hitch would get pretty light use from then on.
