I upgraded my threaded 3-point hitch stabilizers to the nicer telescoping versions. I got them installed today and I am having an issue with them and my rear deck mower. We live in a very hilly area, and when I go over a change in grade, or if I raise the three-point hitch up off the ground, the drive shaft for the PTO starts grinding against the stabilizer. Not only did it chew through the plastic housing on the outside, but it started digging into the metal of one of the stabilizers. I didn’t have this issue with the OEM stabilizers. I’m attaching some photos so you can see what I’m seeing, have I missed something here on my install?
