Inney or Outey?

OK, after 8 months of having my TO30, I finally bought a bush hog (actually a KingKutter) It's a 5 footer and all the pictures I've seen show the lift arms on the outside of the mower's A frame.
I connected them this way, and it seems to work, but it's really stretching the arms out. Would it make a differance if I put the arms on the inside of the A frame? They would seem to be a lot happier there.. Also, the mower is very close to the rear tires. If I lift it more than 5 or 6 inches, it touches the tires. As it is now, I'm going to have to shorten the shaft in order to connect the pto to the gear box.
All suggestions would be most appreciated by this rookie.
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

Chuck,
It's definitely supposed to be an OUTEY.
Sorry this has taken so long since your post, but I had to do some measuring and my Fergie doesn't live where I do. You've got a mismatch somewhere.
Measure your lift arms...they should be 32" long, measuring center to center from lift pins to where they attach to the tractor gear case. If they are not that long...that's your problem. I'm betting someone has replaced the lift arms with ones that are too short. If you try to attach the bushog with the arms on the inside, you can't use stabilizer bars, and I highly recommed the stabilizer bars. It keeps the hog from swinging around behind you. It gives you much more control of that THINGEATER behind you...and it will eat anything. Has no discrimination at all. You may have to cut the drive shaft anyway, but don't do it until your find out if the lift arms are right.

Thanks for your response, Sandy..
You know how sometimes you can't see something you're looking right at? Well...
The company partially assembled the brackets on the mower before I picked it up, and they mounted the A frame on two holes that were about 8 inches closer to the center of the mower as opposed to the two outer holes. (that's where they mounted the support brackets.) After sleeping on the problem, I went out to it again and the problem was obvious. I switched everything and then it all went together really slick. I'm just glad I didn't cut the driveshaft. :-) Now I just have to check on those sway bars you talked about. You're definately right about that monster behind me as being formidable.
I want to wish you and all the other folks on this great forum a wonderful and prosperous New Year and Millenium.
Chuck

Chuck,
Glad the problem was easily fixed. I think the sway bars will cost about $25, but they are definitely worth it. I use them on everything that goes behind the tractor. Keeps it behind you rather than trying to pass you on the side.
Wishing you the best year you ever had.
Sandy

The distance between the arms on any three point implement should be 26" for a Ferguson.

Are you using an overide clutch on your PTO so the bush hog won't push the tractor... Pretty Important....

The adjustable chain type stablizer setup is far superior to the bar type. They run about $65.00.
