HELP!!! - Box Blade Breaking sway bar links on tractor........

[LD1]

In all my 40+ years of fooling with tractors, that is the first round lynch pin i'v ever seen:shocked:

I have some and seen many, but usually in the smaller sized. I can say I have never seen a round one in the common 7/16 size

Stabilizers are designed to operate under tension not compression. I adjust mine with no slop to minimize the heavy weight swinging around on hillsides. With the implement raised, I push it over and even pull on the stabilizer bar to even get the slop caused from the bars. Repeat on the other side. When you push on your implement, verify that the stabilizer that stops the motion is the tension one. I have a 30 HP tractor with loaded tires and many times a full loader of dirt doing figure 8's and hitting stumps and never bent one. Something is wrong with your setup. If moving forward, it should be next to impossible to damage these when traveling less than 10 MPH.

... The concept weakness of vernier stabilizers is that they can come into compression easily if misadjusted. SOME, like those on my 7520, are designed to be compression tolerant. Those pictured arent.
