Abstract
An improved hitch link assembly for connecting an implement to a tractor. Each of the draft links of a tractor having a three point hitch includes forward and rear link constructions which are interconnected together in such a manner that the rear link construction can reciprocate with respect to the forward link construction between a rearward position and a forward position and can also swing from a generally horizontal position to an angled position with respect to the forward link construction. The rear link construction is in its normal working position when it is in its rearward position and in its generally horizontal position. In addition, novel engaging means are provided to firmly hold the rear link construction in its normal working position.
