I wore the socket end out of one of my 601's liftarms a couple weeks ago. So I spent a little over $50 for a replacement at TSC that was made in India.
I'm using the scoop bucket to dig clay out of my pond and moving it up to the top of the pond dam to spread out later. First load I get with the tractor running on the ponds incline and the new replacement arm being on the downhill side, it bends right where the keeper chain is hooked up to it. So, I took it back and ask for an exchange and got it. First load and the same thing. Bent arm.
If I dig and circle the pond I have to make sure the original lift arm is on the downhill side. I can see the arm flexing and taking a strain, but it's obviously tempered higher than the India made arm and retains it's shape.
I think I'll be better of cutting the end off the India made one and welding it to my original Ford arm.
TSC ought to rethink scrimping on quality for parts like these. :/
