NAA Link Assembly

[Ian074]

NAA
While installing back blade last weekend I noticed something new to me. When at plowing level I had adjusted the leveling crank so that plow was level and therefore the lower link assemblies were level, or at least even.
However, when I raised the plow to it's fullest height one of the link assembly arms was very off-level (or uneven) by about 3 inches.
The tractor is not close to my location now so I can't pursue it further.
I always assumed these lower links arms were the same. But now in my parts catalog I see there is indeed a left and right.
So I guess what I have here could be one of the following. The left-hand arm in the right-hand position or visa-virsa. One arm in the correct side but end to end wrong. Or a bent arm
Any thoughts on all this??
Thanks

Ian.......yer talkin'bout them ball-jointed lower lift arms aint'cha??? Sounds like the "longer" one is a "replacement" arm. (they are longer) And therefore when you "lift" they will be un-level. Usually notta problem, 'cuz you can level using yer gearbox. .......Dell

No not a real problem but it does seem to explain some of the minor things going wrong a bit. Like the stabilizer bars binding now and again or making the 3 point hookups a bit more difficult. I'll probably attend to it in the spring.
