Hi,
I am not sure what the correct term is, I'm referring to the parts that you adjust to stop the lift bars and therefore the implement from swinging from side to side.
I do not find these very effective, in fact they are a right pain in that for some implements there is no setting that is correct, so it has to be left really loose. And others the only working configuration leaves the implement off centre. The problem is when you need a length somewhere in between those holes. Another issue is that the pivot is not in line with the lift arm pivot, so if you manage to set it snug at one height it will be wrong at a different height.
Has anyone rigged up a better system? I was thinking something with a bottle screw or similar so it's continuously adjustable. Maybe using chain links so it provides tension only would be enough, I'm not sure. The critical use for us is the snowblower which is used in reverse and really needs to be kept in line.
And as I say I don't know what the correct term for this function is, which hampers my searching for ideas or parts.
Thanks, Tony S
