50 Massey 3 Point Hitch Modification

Winter workshop project
Massey 50   3 point hitch modification 

After using this tractor for a few years, I decided to do something about the excesive sideways  movement of the 3 point hitch.

The original design relied on the inner
chains to limit the sideways movement. 
The problem with this idea is that the tighter you set the chains,  the more vertical travel is restricted.



My solution is to mount some telescoping braces mounted on the outside of the hitch.
