3-Point Hitch broken anti-sway bar slot arms - what to do?

[dismith550]

Just weld up the first hole, grind it down smooth to fit and you will never break it again. I wish the first hole was not there. And then do not let the implement have too much side to side slack. I agree the price is ridiculous, but it is a 10 minute welding job and better than new. Tank gauges on most any car/truck/tractor use a pretty simple sender unit and it transfers a certain amount of ohms to the dash and the dash reacts to that. One easy test is to pull the wire at the sender unit and touch it to a good ground when the key is on and see if the gauge jumps to full. If so, your dash and wiring is fine and it is your sender. If it does not jump, then you test wiring and the dash. As for your unevenness, check your rear tire pressure, and if they are even, measure your rear tires. We have seen a few oddball tires that are off a half inch and that will tilt the tractor, hence an un-level bucket.

Thank you - it seems like an admirably simple solution - I'll give your suggestions a try - thanks again and peace to you.

Achingback, where did you get the anti sway chains. I have bent, lost and ending up hunting one end on the slot arms. The ones cone out. I have had it. I like the easy hook up but the other is ridiculously Thanks.

Both of mine broke last year on my Mahindra 3316, so I replaced them with a modified, heavy duty set from a ford tractor. No more problems. The set on my Kubota are originals, over 28 years old. Go figure.

Jim, I like your idea. The metal is porous and breaks easily or it gas on mine. I welded them and they broke again. Not where the weld is but in the same pourous metal. I thought make the whole thing out of good metal and then just use the ends but if I could get the Ford痴 like yours I would have to worry with all of the slot holes. Thank you. There has to be a better way than what I have been going through. The dealer said they are having trouble with them, too. Thank you.

My Mitsubishi built, Mahindra 2615, came with the chain/turnbuckle style stabilizers. Maybe those would adapt to the 1533.

These are a close match to mine. https://www.picclickimg.com/d/w1600...e-Point-Hitch-Chain-Stabilizer-Turnbuckle.jpg
