Anyone got any pics of your homemade top-link for a 3 pt conversion kit on a wd/wd45?
Im thinkin I can rig something up cheap that will work. Im missing the top link in my conversion kit.

take a 2 inch wide strap 3/8 inch thick and 6 inches long. Bend into a U and go around the rock shaft. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

You can go to Ebay and pay big bucks for one of these
 or build a nice one like this that will have less chance of bending the shaft.

Here is the one I made like the one SteveIll describes. I used two exhaust pipe clamps to keep it centered. If I were going to make another one, I would build it like the one shown in Eldon's picture. BTW, I have one of the originals like Eldon's also but I'm afraid to use it. LOL
