3-Point Hitch Ford 445 3 Point Stabilizer Bars

Looking for input in regards to the Ford 445 3-Point Stabilizer Bars. The ones that came on my tractor have been bent and re-welded at some point. What do you guys recommend as a replacement? I see them on the New Holland parts website but I'm not sure if they are even available. The tractor has the stock Gannon box scraper attached to the 3 point. Thanks in advance!

You could try for the stock turnbuckle type or ther may be the newer telescopic type available for your tractor.

Cross Creek Tractor seems to have a good assortment of 3 point hitch parts for Ford tractors. They do show lift arms for a 445. They could likely tell you if the telescoping stabilizers they sell will fit since they have them for most ford tractors.

Stabilizer Bars have to be straight to work. As soon as one is bowed, the other one will soon get bowed too. They only work in tension, or pulled....they don't work being pushed as they are thin and all they do is bow. I have seen some made that has a slot in the one end so they never bow. If the OP has different width implements, it makes it difficult to determine the exact hole-to-hole measurement.
