Bent 3pt lift arm

[jray]

Well I was working on building a parking area in front of my House today with my box blade. I was using the BB going backwards to push some dirt around and gradw down a hill. Well I made some adjustments for the vertical position of the blade and continued working. Well when I stopped for the day I was going to adjust the BB back to a level position and thats when I noticed the right side lifting arm was bent down and to the outside of the tractor. I was wondering if someone has encountered this problem before, were you able to remove the bar and have it pressed back straight or did you just replace considering any unknown stresses on the part in question. Any responces are appreciated.. Jray

You didn't say what kind of tractor you have but on my Ford 1710 it is just a couple of pins and slide the new one on.
Check out a nearby TSC store or see your dealer. It shouldn't be to bad of a fix

Good Luck

bartman its a shibaura the sister model to I believe the ford 1500 ?? Anyway thats what I was thinking it just has a snap ring holding it in place hopfully it will slide off pretty easy with out any persuasion. I just bought used man I fell stupid for not noticing it sooner. I was pulling the Brushhog yesterday and it was pulling crooked seems like this is probably why. Anyway thanks alot for your help Jray
