did you try to turn without raising? or not have the stabilizers tight? that could have caused it. IF the stabilizers were tight, I dont know then.
Is this side link bent on purpose?

Must have not had the stabilizers tight. I remember now when I first got the tractor and I did not have anything attached one was flopping against the tires. I thought I tightened it up enough after putting the disc on but must not have. Just didn't realize they had so much play...the old 8N's wouldn't reach that far.

If it works use it. Don't bother trying to straighten it. If it breaks it could be welded depending on the break.
Might get lucky and find it straight after using it??
Don't tighten the stabilizers too much. Leave a little slop. That bend probably comes fron compression which your disk would do??

If you find it's binding, or results in your hitch running wonky, I'd try staightening the rod section. Block up the yoke with a piece of steel that just fit between the "ears" & clamp it up good in a heavy vise, squeezing the block between the ears so the ears don't deform and giving you a nice, square shape to grip. Heat the rod section, where you want the rod straightened, with oxy-acetylene to dull red color in a shaded work area. Apply force to the free end and play the heat where you want the rod to straighten, then let it air cool. Should be nearly as good as new.
