What ever happened to the thread...

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( OK John, maybe we could compromise then - and call them implement check chains (?) At any rate, I'm pretty sure this is the device that the original poster addressed. So how 'bout if we let Sarge squeeze back in to confirm they're actually what his question was about ? )</font>
I don't think I understand your attitude. You seem to think I'm being hostile?? I'm not. I found it interesting that you call them check chains in your area, that's all.

I was trying to explain to you that we do the same thing here, but call them different things. One is lift chains. Check chains they are for sure, because they check the arms from falling too low. I like that name better than lift chains actually.

Notice in my first post to you that I said, "Learn something new every day?" I meant it. I like learning new things, THANKS

BTW, Sarge can jump in anytime he wants you know, we're not stopping him, and I'm sure this can be educational for others who may have called them by another name.

Here's a link to what I believe you're looking for.
I bought a set from my MF dealer at around twenty bucks.
I only use them with my bushhog; they're great to set your level of cut. You can drop the bushhog after lifting for any reason and you know it's at the level you want.

Thanks for the links John.

I was going to do a search today for the very same thing. Last week I got tired of the top link messing up my rough cutter mowing and just removed it altogether, figured it would be fine since I was working on pretty level ground. But I would like to have something attached there and had remembered it being mentined.

Since a picture is said to be worth a thousand words, I probably could have saved a whole lotta (regional) aggravation if I'd just uploaded the photo first.

Top ends are the pair of bracket that get pinned to the tractor's toplink bracket. Bottom ends are the pair that slip over the implement's lift pins. Height of implement is determined by which link of the chain goes through the top keyway.
