New to me tractor (used B7300) and the adjustable side link is stuck like nothing else. The adjustable part that lets you swing the arms wider was stuck but after a little oil and elbow grease all works well. Didn't work for the side link. How forcefull can I be? Any product that works better than others? Thanks

Soaking in PB blaster may help along with a little tapping from a hammer. If you have a torch try heating it up before the PB stuff to see if that will break the bond.

If you are talking about the turnbuckle system, if they stay frozen and need to be replaced, you might consider replacing them with the telescopic stabilizers. I changed the turnbuckle system out on mine because I had bent a couple of the bolts and the telescopic system has the benefit of much easier adjustability and it holds the lower control arms spread apart at whatever width you set at instead of them collapsing in. I also have the Pats Quick change system, so I no longer have to use the spreader bar to hold mine apart when I am hooking up implements.

Stabilizer

Thanks :thumbsup: Will try the PB before spending the money on the telescopic system, but that sure looks nice.
