Where does it tell you that valve stems in is wide? My rear tires are loaded so would be a bit more that ten minutes for me...

I went out and checked the tires and they are not set to wide. I decided to go ahead and make the swap. I got the jack out and decided I better double check the owner’s manual to see where the jacking points are and guess what? There is nothing in the manual about jacking. Since I don’t have a backhoe I’ll have to jack up the rear the old fashioned way, where is the best place to place the jack? I don’t want to break something else!! I already managed to bend the top link the other day.

Put a block of wood on your jack. and jack right under the mount for the draw bar where the pin go's in. dont jack on the transmission....

I'm not 100% sure how I bent it. I wanted to move the BBQ grill from the back yard to the front yard it's pretty much all up hill and thought the tractor would come in handy for that task. I decided to hook up an old carry-all that my father built 30 years ago. I’ve used it hundreds of times on the ole’ Ferguson. After I disconnected the carry-all I decided to turn the top link ends all the way in and that’s when I noticed the link closes to the tractor didn’t turn all the way in. I took it off thinking there was something in the threads. There was no burr on the threads and no crap blocking it either. I backed it out a couple times and tried to turn it in and it still stopped at the same place about 2 ½” short of being all the way in. I held it up and that’s when I noticed it was bent. I mentioned it to my salesman a day or two later and he brought me out a free replacement!
