Pat's system but need different stabilizer.

Other than that, I've been very happy with them and the only reason I took them off is that I got a new implemented and the PTO shaft was just a couple inches too short and I didn't want to buy a new shaft.

There are PTO extenders that fit up to make the Pat's able to be used.

I've never dealt with this company - it is just to show what is available.

I got mine for around $20.

OK guys I followed your advice today and with a hacksaw cut off the end of the main pin that had been mushroomed so much there was no way it was going through the hole.

I then took a big sledge and pounded the pin after spraying it with PB Blaster.

Sure enough out it came! Isn't that a great feeling for any of us when a stuck pin becomes unstuck?

I called Pat's and they are sending out a new pin for just the cost of postage. I am very pleased with their customer service. I told them it was my fault but they sent it free anyway.

Thanks to all of you for the help. And yes it was the spreader bar I was referring to not the stabilizer. My fault for not being correct.

Thanks again!

Yup, you apparently installed it through a dirty/rusty swivel ball. A 3# sledge and a short piece of 3/4" steel pipe should drive that right back through. Then before re-installing it from the correct side, take a few minutes to clean and lube the inside of the swivel ball

Will do Greg. Thanks.

Hooray! A happy ending.

I have heard nothing but good things about Pat's customer service. However, haven't had to use them yet.
