 Topic: Lift Latch Brace

Could someone post pictures and dimensions so that I could make the brace that goes between the lift latches that I just bought for a D-17. Thanks. Jim

That brace is a solid shaft, not a piece of pipe, and they still got bent.

Yes, I'm talking about the horizontal shaft that goes between the lift latches. I'd like to see a picture of one to see how it fastens to the lift latches.

Could someone give me the measurement between the center of the holes in the rod for mounting to the latches? A picture of one would still help me to get it made right. Thanks

I don't have a bar on mine but it should be 30" center to center on holes.

I would think one drift pin or bolt would be sufficient to hold the crossshaft in place. Your lift arms may have got bent slightly sometime over the last 50+ years, therefore the distance between the holes would be different. OR just drill one hole, then install the brace and 'mark and drill' the other hole. Gary

Take a tape measure and measure between the holes. Best do like Gary said and drill and pin one before you mark the other. It doesn't take much of a twist in either arm to make that center distance change.

Thanks for the info. I'll get a rod and just drill the hole on one end until I get out to my son's in Iowa where the tractor is. Jim

They were primarily to keep the lift arms from twisting and thus breaking from stress. I would bolt one side and then (I would use a Hi-Lift jack) push the other side out to the 30" (If that is correct). And I wouldn't push it a lot if it is bent in that far either. Gotta use some common sense on that part. They really help on heavy loads, such as a big disk and plowing. That's where they tend to get bent.

Here are some pictures I took. Hope this helps. The bar is solid. It measured 32 3/8" from outside to outside. As I understand it, the purpose is so the equipment does not put so much side to side pressure on the lift arms that the lift arms break. Someone correct me if I'm wrong or provide a more complete explanation.
