I recently had a bit of a head rush and went out and purchased two new lower link arms for my 135. I have recently purchased a 6ft topper (bush hog to guys in the US of A) and found that I could only lift the bugger no more than a foot off the ground before it jammed on the rear tyres.
I did a bit if research and noticed that original arms were 32 inches centre to centre and I could get some heavy duty ones via Sparex for vast expense which are 35inches from centre to centre.
Problem solved! No. After a lot swearing this evening I now have the old ones back on. The new ones went on ok - BUT they have the holes in a different place, they are further out. This means that when fully lowered they aren't low enough to pick up any of my implements. Fat load of use that is!
My question to you lovely people (and DavidP if he's listening) is, do i get the arms drilled so that the distance from the point under the axle to where the levelling box attaches is the same as the old arms, or is there some magic part that I've missed? I don't really want to have to buy longer lift arms, plus I can find any. What have I done wrong???????
Thanks in advance guys.
