Here is an easy fix for your stabilizer bars dragging.

That"s one way. I just tack welded a couple of short 5/16 bolts to the top of my lift arms about 6 or 8 inches up from the end and let the stabilizers rest there. TDF

The simplest things float right by. I'll be doing this next time I fill a water tank (have quality time with the tractor for the 1 1/2 hours it takes to fill the tank).

Thanks, Dave

Why would you release your stabilizer bars before you back up to the implement? We never take them loose until after we have backed up, are lined up and ready to attach the implement. We then release them, hook up, re-fasten and go. It also makes it easier to line up since the hitch arms aren't swinging around.

My stabilizer bars hook to the lift arms with their own pins and clips, and not on the main 3 point pins so no problem.

TDF, is your handle the punchline of the joke?

I just use the pin from the back of the top link. It has to go somewhere any way.

If you have stabilizers that connect on the lower lift pins, how do you hold them up without an implement attached? Some stabilizers have their own pins to mount them, others mount with the implement on the lift pins. I have some on their own pins that are like a big turn buckle similar to the top link. They work good but make it harder to hook up implements because the lift arms can't be moved side to side at all without adjusting them. Dave

I made up a couple of 7/16" pieces of round stock and bent them out some...so they drop down in the pin holes and rest the stabilizer bars on them. ohfred

All of those sound like some great ideas. Sharing with pictures would be helpful.

That is very interesting to me as it is the exact same way that I do it. If I posted a picture it would look identical.

) It does work out quite well.

Nancy, I don't think you have any Ford Or Ferguson tractors but all the Ford from 39 to 64 except possibly the 6000 the stabilizer bars fastened to a bracket on the bottom side of the axle on the fender bolts at the front and on the back on the cat 1 three point hitch pins and you were supposed to pull the pin at the front and lay the bars asside while you were hooking up and then put the bars back on. Without an implement unless you had the 11 hole cross drawbar in there was nothing to hold the back end of the bar in. The orignal Ford lift arms has a place to store the lynch pins in and they were fastened with a piece of chain from the factory so you did not loose them. I have many a time wraped that chain around the bar to holt it up while changing implements. The replacement lift arms do not have that storage loop on. Later tractors the bar fastened to a pin that was perminate in the lift arms and you could do like you say in leaving them on to stop the sway without an implement.
