Lift bar hitting the center spindle on 48" deck.

Glad to see you're back in business Kurt. Looks like the other lift bars were bent using down force, a lot of it!

If the deck is not on the tractor and the j bar is hanging there when lowered it could hit something. I know they bend easily...or at least I've seen a good many that way.....

I see there are pins through a couple of the tips there....I have to look at the ones on the blackhoods.....that one has a tube that a rod goes through....looks like a more modern set-up.

I could see that happening for sure!

Good job Kurt

I was surprised when I got that one. I've never seen that design, but I like it. It seems to be stronger. Maybe a design improvement when these kept getting bent.
