Fabricating a set of Stabilizer bars for my Massey Ferguson 35 3 point hitch. The bars eliminate the side to side sway of an implement. A Fun Fabrication Project with some Planning Cutting Grinding and Welding.
My 35 has a second set of chains running from the fixing points on the axle to the same point as the inner chains on the lower links this seems easier and allows for adjustment of the tension!
@@thedelcodave I put chains on but I think they are to soft and have stretched. I may just upgrade the chains. I can’t remember the different mounting opportunities until I look at it again.
In the USA there are three companies all owned by one that have a ton of parts. Yesterdays tractors, all states ag parts and tractor Joe. Some specialty parts like the serial number plates I found on eBay in England. Most of the aftermarket parts are made by sparex.
measure both sides, add them together and divide by two, this is the centre to centre for the sway bar, you will need to make an offset on the bar too. Normally they are made from 2x1/2 inch bar. I only use a sway bar on one side. I think your rear mount frame may be a bit wide so the geometry is not the best?
I could definitely see if my hitch frame was a couple of inches more narrow it would make my bars work even better. Most of the movement that is left now is coming from the worn ball sockets on the 3 point arms.
