Don't need 'em now. Check the "twisting" thread.

I noticed on my 3 pt. hitch that one lift arm had only one of the the stop tabs. That side twisted if lifted on by hand. With none installed it did not twist. Would be nice if the problem was as simple as a $3.16 stop tab.

Hi cheif!! I think it was a combination of being to far apart, and the 3 point adjusted to high, on level ground, it measured 31 and1/2" to center of the end pin hole.

Get this!! had it in a few weeks ago for a leaking left front axle seal, for the "3rd or 4th time" in a row. Put 2 hrs on the machine since then. Went to do a job this morning, walked into Lowes Lumber for a few things, came back out, Trailer was covered in oil, got to looking and the 4 bolts that hold the axle spindle to the axle housing were falling out!!!! I took my pencil and stuck it in the gap at the bottom, I hope this didn't mess up the gears any!! I just cannot believe it!!

EVIDENTELY, the mechanic did not tighten them!!!!!!!
