lift arm assembly

Recommended Posts

This part 6615 on my 1974 C160 seems to have gotten bent on the arm that hangs down for the lift cylinder to push and pull.  Has anyone had one of these get bent so that it pulls the assembly out to the left?  The sheetmetal was cracked as if the mower deck had gotten hit real hard.  Hard to believe it would bend 3/16 steal arm.

I agree, more likely something was jammed preventing the deck from lifting and the lift cylinder bent the arm.

We've seen TWO of these arms on other folks tractors that were bent recently. 

 

Likely a result of hydraulics. 

 

Seems odd. But not unheard of.

I can't seem to open the picture. What arm got bent exactly? Is this the pivot arm on the side of the tractor or the T bar that lifts the deck?

Actually I read that wrong the first time. Didn't magnify it enough I guess. It's calling out the rock shaft

Those I have seen worn out pretty badly but I don't think I've seen a bent Rock shaft.

If your talking about the sheet metal being cracked in the dark circled area it's pretty common. comes from lifting heavy implements like snow lowers and garden plows. All of the stress when lifting is on that side of the hood stand. The lift tries to push that pivot arm up and out of the tractor.
