Lower lift arms

[nodlenor]

I bent one of my lower lift arms. anyone know where I can purchase new ones at a reasonable price?

I think a good bet is enter - lower lift arms or 3-point arms into the google custom search box. Upper right corner of this page. It will get you to threads discussing damaged arms and where folks got new ones.

BTW - Welcome to TractorByNet(TBN). Hope your day gets better.

I googled it and found a place in Louisiana called Stevens Tractor. Anyone know anything about them?

Yeah, they're reputable. I bought a few things from them in the past...no problems.

Don't bother with the ones from Tractor Supply if you are putting them on anything with some power behind it. I folded 2 of them with a Long 460.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll order a pair from Stevens Tractor. Not sure what you mean by "a long 460".
My tractor is a TU150F Iseki. I bought it with a tiller and that is what I use it for mostly but I also have a blade and a dirt scoup. The scoup is what I was using when I bent the arm. The arms don't seem to work very well to push with.

He was saying he bought generic lift arms from Tractor Supply and put them on his tractor, which is a Long 460.

Generally speaking, lift arms aren't meant for pushing, and you've already seen what can happen to them. You have to be pretty careful when using a scoop, or pushing with a blade, to avoid damaging the lift arms.

My lift arms are generic also as my tractor didnt have a 3point hitch when purchased. I will just have to be more careful from now on. Thanks again for all the help.

Got my lift arms yesterday. WOW that was fast. They are heavier than my old ones, which is good. I will put them on and try them out as soon as the weather warms a little. It is 5 degrees outside this mourning and I don't really have any pressing projects for now.
