So, the new tractor came yesterday but, not having had a 3PH before, I'm curious about whether there's supposed to be a bolt on this upper 3PH mount. Please take a look at the pics on this page and give me some feedback. Thanks.

Ken, if you look at the larger version of the pics the pins are definitely threaded.

It sure as heck needs a bolt, and a washer. I would put a nylock nut on this application. ....

You may also be missing a bushing. There shouldn't be that much free play in the joint. Check other fittings that look similar, could be there is a bushing missing. ....
