I broke the leveling arm about three years ago. I was mowing the neighbors property for him and was travelling to his place. There was a tree limb sticking out over the berm of the road and I thought I was completely clear of it when I swung back off the road onto the berm to let oncoming traffic by, and the cutter bar snagged the limb. Pulled the levelling arm apart inside the turnbuckle. Well, once traffic cleared I drug the mower across the road into his side yard pulled the mower off and headed back home to rob one off the other 8n.

When I was a boy and our 8Ns were only a few years old we broke several lift arms. I suspect it was from "swing" on turns with raised disks, plows and etc. We'd turn sharp at near wide-open and really stress the lift arms. Sometimes turned too sharp with tools in the ground, too. You could see the arms bend somewhat like a leaf spring. And after hundreds or thousands of such of turns they broke at the attaching bolt. That's farming. They probably wouldn't break if stabilizer bars were always used. But we needed to follow the contours on our farms and seldom used stabilizer bars with tillage tools. Mike-Iowa

Hi: I broke one of my Arms several years ago. I was unable to get the old one off so I said what do I have to loose and Ground it down to get a good groove in it and welded it. It has been working fine for the last 6-7 years mostly with 6' box blade.. I have no idea how one would get that arm off.. just no way to get it in a press..

Carol..

You may have a cheaper replacement lift arm that broke. Two grades are sold now days. I have never seen an original lift arm break, even after 50 years of hard use, the ends do wear out. When replacing I go for the more expensive forged arms, worth the difference. When replacing it is best to install a matched pair. The new lift arms are longer than the originals and both arms should be the same length with the same lift arm attaching points. Also when stabilizers are used, lengths should match the lift arm length, new stabilizer arms are also longer.

Depending on where you are in Ontario you could give Lindsay Used Tractor a try.

I have move tremendous loads with my scoop and have never broke a lift arm.
I think something very unusual must have weakened it at one time or another.
I have almost wore out a slip scoop hauling dirt.
Very heavy clay and never broke a lift arm.
I also made a set of heavy duty forks for the back and on a regular basis lift the front end off the ground hauling logs. I set the relief valve much heavier than original so I could do this. I never broke anything on the lift.
I have been using my 8N for 10+ years.

Is this the lower lift arm, or the upper lift arm you are refering to?

If lower, TSC stores carry a nearly exact replacement for about 35 bucks US.
