Description
When your three-point hitch won’t lift that disc harrow or your bush hog is dragging on the ground, chances are good this little but mighty stud has failed. This 4-inch long lift cylinder stud is the critical link between your MF 188’s hydraulic muscle and the mechanical arms that actually raise your implements. It’s a hardworking part that sees tremendous forces every time you cycle that hitch, and when it bends, breaks, or wears out, your whole three-point system becomes useless.
What You’re Getting
- Extra-long 4-inch design reaches where shorter studs can’t
- Heavy-duty 9/16-inch threading handles maximum hydraulic forces
- Precision-engineered to match original MF 188 specifications exactly
- Quality steel construction withstands the stress of repeated lift cycles
- Direct replacement – no modifications or adapters needed
Built for Real Farm Work
Your MF 188 was built to handle serious implements – heavy cultivators, loaded planters, big disc harrows. Every time you raise one of these implements, thousands of pounds of force flow through this stud. The 4-inch length tells you this is designed for specific applications where standard studs just won’t reach, and the robust 9/16-inch threading provides the strength needed for agricultural loads.
Made to Last
This isn’t hardware store all-thread rod. It’s purpose-built for hydraulic applications where failure isn’t an option. The steel is properly heat-treated to handle the cyclical loading that comes with constant raising and lowering of implements. Quality threading ensures it’ll tighten properly and stay tight through seasons of vibration and stress.
Good to Know
Before installing, make sure you’ve got the implement properly supported – never work under a raised implement held only by hydraulic pressure. Clean the threads thoroughly in both the cylinder and lift arm connections. A drop of thread locker rated for hydraulic applications helps prevent loosening from vibration. Torque to specification – too loose allows damaging movement, too tight can crack mounting points.
