When we purchased our MF 135 UK recently, the chain stabilisers were not fitted. The check chains were fitted. I need to replace the lift arms as they are well worn, in particular, where the ball ends fit. There is no option to swap between cat 1 and cat 2 balls, just plain ends.
I released the bolt securing the check chain, this should also have released the levelling turn buckle from the right lift arm. However, removing the bolt seems to have left a bush in place that reduces the hole size in the right arm to match the bolt size at the end of the check chain. The left arm appears identical.
I presume these lift arms are heavier, longer with larger adjustment holes as an option as they don't match the pics in the MF Operators book. The tractor is 1970 manufacture, square mud guards.
Is all this just an owner mod and I can return the fittings to the original lift arms which would have adjustment holes to match the bolt size on the check
chains and with the interchageable ball ends. Last item useful as I have Cat 1 and Cat 2 implements.
