Around here we have a variety of adjustable top links on our tractors. They come from a variety of far-off places like China and India, and they're painted a variety of attractive colors like red and blue. But they all have in common that the threads are machined so loose that an hour of mowing or even a drive on a bumpy road is sufficient to make the center tube rotate out of adjustment, no matter how hard I tighten the jam nut. I'd considered Loctite-ing, but that would take a lot of Loctite and would add grief when I actually want to adjust the thing.
Has anyone found a good adjustable top link that stays in place? I notice that Surplus Center sells a hydraulic one where the user loosens a valve, pulls it to the desired length, and tightens the valve again -- does anyone have experience with that unit?
