View attachment 555915View attachment 555916View attachment 555917I own the 1533 model and am having a problem with the left stabilizer bar sometimes rubbing against the back tire. I have the pin in the first holeView attachment 555915View attachment 555916View attachment 555917 but still because of the swivel piece on the stabilizer when I have my flail mower out from the tractor it will hit the rear tire. I've attached a few pictures of that side:
Let me ask you this about where the stabilizer attaches to the stud on the tractor frame. It appears that the stud on the opposite side is angled down and back towards the implement rather than coming straight out as the other side shows in the picture. Is that correct for that stud to be angled?
Sounds bent to me! That plate, to me anyway, should just have a hole- no stud. One could either attach a bolt or put a clevis through it.
Maybe more of a project then you want though...
Last year when my stabilizer broke and seeing what new ones cost, I took both to a machine shop and they rebuild both for under 40 dollars.
