well, when I first got tractor I tried drilling holes into lift links to alter lift height, big fail.
so at some point needed to replace the full LH lift link and RH link end piece.
here are prices:
RH turnbuckle END (only the end) 100$
then there is the whole left end rod. 103$
then there is this for a kubota at tractor supply for 28$
works fine, the lower pin slightly smaller than massey pin, enough meat to drill if desired. only issue is the t handles a little longer and if all the way raised cannot adjust. so either trim inch off each end or adjust when lowered. gonna buy another to replace the LH rod. so 60$ for 200$ of parts if I went massey.
have not had a chance to run part #'s against other GC series but....if needed worth a look. can always return the part if don't work.
edit: trimmed 1/2 inch off t-handle ends. works flawless and, with arms set level, I have ton of adjustment left where massey one was tight up against highest lift setting. tomorrow will go grab another and replace LH link, balance out against the already installed one. yeah will have 2 links with adjustments, big deal. hell will prob help me when creating crown on road since I don't have aux hydraulics.
