Going to try swapping my lift arms left-for-right…

Ok, gonna catch up, with PHOTOS!

First two photos are the two arms on one pin for alignment, and the folding ruler is set at 90 degrees.

one arm has a piece of electrical tape for differentiation for the left-right placement. You can see why swapping the arms didn’t work, since they were both bent in the same direction, but unequally (and I don’t get THAT unless a pin slipped out in the process…).

Here it is with two universal replacement arms. The original shafts are 3/4, the balls are 7/8, so I made bushings out of 3/4 copper pipe which fit snuggly in the ball and reasonably snuggly over the shaft.

Let me try uploading some video.. it may or may not happen with the crappy DSL out here west of Hooterville…

UPDATE: I guess I have to join Vimeo or something and then post a URL of the video… that will have to wait until later when my device is fully charged
