"Bob Sox" Keep Dirt Off 3-Pt. Link Arms
 ✖  |
After he grew tired of dirt and moisture locking up the adjustable links on his tractors' 3-pt. hitches, Bob Henderson of Lamesa, Texas, decided to do something about it. He came up with waterproof covers that are designed to protect each link arm.
Each 2-ft. long "Bob Sox" is a sleeve made from waterproof, rip-resistant nylon material. A velcro patch at each end allows the sleeve to be drawn tightly up against the threaded part of the link, keeping dirt and moisture out.
"It takes care of a problem that farmers have lived with forever," says Henderson. "If a link locks up due to dirt and moisture in the threads it's a real hassle to unlock it. You have to take the link off and use a cutting torch to heat it up, and sometimes even take the link completely apart in order to clean it. It can be a two-hour job."
Bob Sox sell for $19.50 apiece plus S&H. One size fits all. "That might seem high, until you consider the time and hassle involved in freeing up a link. They're made from top quality material to stand up to abuse."
