3-Point Hitch 2520 clearance 3 point

[dfkrug]

dfkrug, now I understand, sorry. How did you make sure that each one bent the same amount so they stay symetric?

Since the arms are identical in length and cross-section, they will each
bend the same amt if you support them the same way. The amt of bend
is so small that it is not readily apparent just looking at the arms. Also,
if one arm bent a bit more than the other, it would not be a big problem.
If one DOES bend a bit more than the other, then you can re-position the
chain (fulcrum) so that more torque it placed on the less-bent arm. Note
that there is a certain amt of springy-ness in the arms so they will need
to be over-bent a bit so they return to a desirable shape.

What problem is that?

The rods on the quick hitch are 3/4 dia. and the overall width is the same as the frame on the tractor. The holes on the tractor are 5/8 dia.I have been
waiting three weeks for a solution from the dealer,I think they have the
wrong size quick hitch but factory sent a replacement and it was the same as
the first,wrong!

If you have a 2520, with a cat 1 three point hitch, the lift arm holes should be for 7/8" pins. 5/8" lift pins are cat 0.

This is basic, should be a no-brainer for your dealer. You have the wrong lift arms or they were assembled with the wrong ball swivels.

Sorry but now this is the other problem I'm having. This is for a front mount
dozer blade,it attaches with the quick hitch where the mid mount mower does
I need to know what size holes are in the bolt on frame mounts not the three
point,thanks

Oops, sorry. I have the front quick hitch for the 47" snowblower. Don't recall
the sizes you need and I'm 100 miles away from the tractor for a couple of days. Will look when I get back, if you haven't already gotten an answer.
Still think it should be a no-brainer for the dealer.

Finally got back to my tractor - here's you info in case problem not already solved.

I have the front quick hitch for the 47 snowblower on my 2520. Needed to get Front Attaching Support Kit LVB25302 for attaching to tractor. The kit is two plates, that mount on the outside of the frame, along with the necessary bolts.
The holes for the hitch mounting rods are 21mm (a little plus of 13/16 ths). Cost was about $57. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info on the front quick hitch goodbyeNJ. I am going to call my dealer Monday once again. They sent me yet another bracket that is inncorrect. Do you have a front brush gaurd? I don't think it can be on there because none of the pictures in manual show it. Well thanks again for info.
