When I got the D14 the lift latches were installed with the side bolt in the hole on the end of the lift arm. It held, but wobbled around a lot. I recently loosened the side bolt, pushed the latches all the way on, and tightened the bolt against the lift arm. Seems to fit much better, BUT NOW the latches hit the fenders when all the way up. And of course, the service book does not even address the latches. "Wud" I do Wrong?

fenders/brackets bolted to wrong sides? or wrong (too long) latch bolts?
