I recently acquired a IH 464. It has a bent 3 point arm leveling attachment. Its the left side that bent, and its not the one that has the handle for spin adjustment. I did a quick search on ebay for a replacement, and I found this one:

Right Hand 3 Point Hitch Leveling Assembly CAT 1 fits Case 454 464 484 485 | eBay

It does look like the right side one like on my tractor, and it says "right hand". Would I be able to replace my left one with this ? Or is it not a good idea to do this ?

Thanks for any input.

It's fine. When getting a hydraulic tilt cylinder many (most?) move the right hand adjustable arm to the left side.

(of course that arm looks nothing like mine, so consider this an opinion based on some compact tractors, but not based on your tractor))

I did that on my 2 Kubotas when adding TnT just fine.

Ok.. so is there any benefit to have 2 adjustable arms ?

Well, you get twice as much tilt, more extreme pitch to the lower link arms. Although at extreme angles, there may be interference concerns between the implement and the tractor tires?
