Lift Arm Spacer(s)

[hthomure]

Hello all. I've searched for this topic, and only found one thread on it, and it never really got resolved, so I'm going to resurrect it.

I was messing with my lift arms the other day and happened to notice that one arm has a spacer where it attaches to the PTO, but the other arm doesn't. I just assumed both arms need one, so I started the search process to find one to order. While searching is when I discovered the discussion as to whether or not both sides needed a spacer. I know my mowers pull to the side all the time, and I was thinking that might be the cause. But now since I discovered this discussion I'm not so sure. Attached is a photo of what I have currently. Yes my tractor is filthy.

Thanks for any help.

My B26 looks similar and has spacers on both sides.

It only makes sense that both sides would have one. The side on mine without one moves all over the place. Can't be right.

Yup, supposed to be on both sides.

You do need another on the left side.

Have your dealer order one for you.

Make one from a piece of pipe.

Have to remove lift arms to install backhoe. Lost one spacer. Cut about 1/4” off a standard cat 1 to cat 2 sleeve from any tractor supply store.

Ooh, I like that idea. Thanks.
