ICONN 0 #1 Posted August 22 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. 7-60 pivot arm hydraulic.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Likely a result of hydraulics. Seems odd. But not unheard of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,217 #4 Posted August 23 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
