Straightening forks

[Renze]

I just slide them off, slide back on upside down and yank them back the same way i bent them.

When doing that right away, you'll have a good feel of how much force is required.

If the fork mount is rigid enough, and the tractor heavy enough, then a heavy duty bottle jack under the tip may be able to bend it. Add a steel plate to distribute force.

First, I would take it off the SSQA and set it on you concrete floor and determine if your fork or your SSQA is bent.

I know in my case my SSQA is bent.

No way am I expert on this but look on youtube where they show doing this. I have a bend in my SSQA and the Kubotat shop manager asked did I want new part or it just fixed. Fixed suited me. He used something to push against that would not move to bend it back. A great friend of mine who has a tractor shop has told me, lift the high side under an item you can not damage nor lift. Keep checking so you don't over do it.

On youtube they show placing wooden block in the curling arms and pulling agains the frame itself. Pay attention so you know what side to block.
