Replacement 3 point arms

[JSettle]

I have a NH T1510 that I bent the 3 point arms on. Completely my fault. I got my bush hog hung up and it twisted too much. Anyways...where can I get a good replacement set? I have purchased two different pairs (one online and one from Rural King) of "universal" arms. They both bent as soon as I lifted my bush hog. New Holland and Messicks want over $1000 for a replacement pair and that's if they're in stock.

a common story i have heard over the years. especially since on the smaller stuff used sellers try and keep their arms and sell them seperately on facebook cause a newer maybe inexperienced buyer didn't realize with a BH attached the arms are often removed. So they then ***** their new to them tractor didn't come with the arms.

if you want good and strong you can trust your dealers and OEM products.

If you buy aftermarket make sure they disclose (guarantee) the type of steel used. Way to often I see city types in my area talking about buying from internet or cheap from lower end farm stores only to find they are weak.

So... just some advice. I would go to my dealer if it were me and I would cry opening my wallet.

Depending on how bent do you have good metal shop near that could fix them.

Determine what other model NH's use the same arms, and look for someone parting a tractor out. You can sometimes find them on Tractorhouse. Factory lift arms are superior to any of the aftermarket stuff.
Or, as suggested, take them to a fab shop and see if they can straighten them. They may even be able to reinforce them without interfering with how they function.

As others have mentioned a good fad / metal / welding shop might be able to straighten & reinforce them...

You could also try the used market, there are quite a few... for instance, Long Lane Tractors has a lot of NH parts machines... but may depend on where you are located.

Thanks for the replies. I found out the hard way that the replacement ones are soft. I guess the dealer can charge as much as they do for a reason. I'll keep looking for some used ones.
