i just bought a used rear blade for my tractor yesterday and wanted to move it after i pulled it from the bed of my truck. when i backed up to it i then realized i didn't have a top link. don't know how i missed it, but i did. so off to tractor supply to get a stage 1 top link and pins. 30 bucks later i came back to hook it up and it's about an 1/8 too wide for the tractor? i just pulled out the grinder and hit both sides a little bit, but is this something that's typical for a compact? are the stage 1 links not quite whats on my tractor? or is that what you get when you buy some generac parts from a common distributor.

i guess i shouldn't complain cause it's working now but, just curious.

Also what a deal i got on the blade. it is a taylor pittsburgh 72" slider blade, rusty, but looked unused for $70. i felt pretty good about that deal.

Due to adding QA's (Pat's) to 3ph I had to get another longer top link. Mine was a hair to big at the connection so the handled nudger came out and whacked the connector at the top a time or two or three to encourage it to be a tad wider. It accepted the encouragement and the top link then fit on that tractor. Did chip the orange paint a bit so if chipped paint bothers you, then grind top link arm or get some touch up paint.

Great! sounds like i'm not the only one then. after some quick grinding it was fixed, just wanted to make sure this was typical!
