The lift link assembly includes a hollow lift link extending along a coupling axis, a lift bar slidably received 5 by the lift link and an adjusting link. An overload protection mechanism includes a block fixed to the lift bar and coupled to the adjusting link, and a plate fixed to an end of the lift link. A pair of clamping bolts clamp the plate to the block. The clamping bolts are in tension and are substantially parallel to the coupling axis.1/3 co N - 00 0 0 0 1
