The machinst that did the valve mount for me was up at my farm and he recommended that we go with the top link extension bracket like the one that was posted about in this thread.

He was a little hesitant to cut through the OEM bottom links. I wasn't able to find any existing welds on them at all so I figured this was best.

I'm sure CCM would have done what they could to replace my link with a longer one but with UPS charging a customs brokerage fee of about $50 each way + shipping expenses it just dosen't make sense. I'm getting charged $100 for the bracket and he's also going to try to get it to me ASAP so that I can play with my new toy :-)

Guess I have no real need to go get a welder and learn to weld when I have a pretty good guy on hand that will take work on for me.
