Once I was cutting with a bush hog in my third field and I made a sharp turn causing the hog to grab the tire and ride up the wheel, I broke the support on that side and had a heck of the time getting the hog off the tire.
Watch those turns, and make sure the support are straight and not bent.
Good Luck,
Chuck

Okay messed around with the tractor again and I am thinking it would be much easier to buy a whole new 3pt lift kit since the back of this tractor is rig with chains. Do you know if I can get a kit that will fit Kubota L2201? Going to go to Kubota store to take one of the lift bars in to show them what I need. Should I just say I need it for a Kuobta L245?

There's a pretty big support network for these grey market tractors, but you usually don't find a brick and mortar dealer nearby. Get used to E-bay and internet sales. Any given day you can find a 3 pt. kit on E-bay for cheaper than I've ever seen one at a "white market" dealer.

Your tractor is also missing the lift arm on the LH side of the 3 point. It looks like it's been replaced by a length of chain. While the chain will lift the 3 point it will not hold it stable when turning a corner with the tractor. This will cause the mower to drive up onto the tread of the tire when turning left.

Have you tried any of the suggestions in this thread?

You might also start a new thread and give us some more details. What make and model is your tractor? Does it only hit the wheel when you turn? What have you already tried?

Just make sure your sabilizer chains or bars are adjusted, and make sure your lift arms are not bent.

Another thing you can do is get a quick hitch. It will set your mower further behind you by a few inches, hook up easy to future implements, and it will keep your tires clear of the mower blades. Works great for me since i have multiple implements. getting the links tight is very important though.
