3-Point Hitch Bent, broken telescoping anti sway arms on Mahindra.

I own the 1533 model and am having a problem with the left stabilizer bar sometimes rubbing against the back tire. I have the pin in the first hole

but still because of the swivel piece on the stabilizer when I have my flail mower out from the tractor it will hit the rear tire. I've attached a few pictures of that side:

If the left side is rubbing then the right side would need more tension.

Where the 3 point links attach to the implement with the 5/8” (I think) pin I added washers to each side to take some of the slop out. That won’t help with rubbing but may help get you some additional tension.

The very beginning of my video shows the washers.

Let me ask you this about where the stabilizer attaches to the stud on the tractor frame. It appears that the stud on the opposite side is angled down and back towards the implement rather than coming straight out as the other side shows in the picture. Is that correct for that stud to be angled?

Sounds bent to me! That plate, to me anyway, should just have a hole- no stud. One could either attach a bolt or put a clevis through it.

Maybe more of a project then you want though...

Your right! The stud is half broken off and the plate hS been bent! I suppose I値l need a whole new plat with the stud! Not sure how hard that will be to do or have dealer do it!

That’s what I’m saying about that plate- I think the plate is good. The stud just side loads it. I’d just grind the stud off and drill even a 3/8” hole through it and put one of these on there-

Either the double clevis or a quick link.

Or if you insist on using the factory stabilizer just put a grade 8 bolt through it.

Last year when my stabilizer broke and seeing what new ones cost, I took both to a machine shop and they rebuild both for under 40 dollars.
