Picked up a 1986 Ford 4610 today

[Happy Gilmore]

I picked up a nice set of salvaged OEM stabilizer brackets with hardware on eBay for my new 4610. They came today and are in great shape.

Yep, that's them. I can't remember what I paid for mine thru Cheap Tractor Parts but I'm sure I paid more than you.

Nice score! I can see the difference. They are cast as one piece instead of the aftermarket stuff that is usually welded. I feel bad for buying mine as they would have been pretty easy to make. I just don't have the time to right now.

I paid $100 plus shipping, I really wanted the OEM so I didn't mind.

Nice 4610!

I have its older brother a 4600. Great tractors!

You have a really nice tractor, so I think it was definitely worth it. I would like to find a decent set of flex link arms, but I haven't seen any yet.

Yeah, I'd like to add those too.

Let me know if you find a source for some and I'll do the same.

What are you guys referring to by "flex link arms?"

I think they allow a certain amount of in and out movement for easier hookup. Flex-link lift arms.
