Long bushing for Cat 2 lift arms to mount Cat 1 implements?

[trackman23]

I seem to have quite a bit of space on either side of my lift arm when i mount all of my implements and as a result, the standard 1.75" long bushings dont have much area to bear on. Any idea where I can get some longer ones? Online searches at tractor supply and agri supply don't seem to show any options.

Thanks,

I use multiples.

Sometimes cut to fit.

hmm
support bushings only have to be as wide as the lift arm 'ball' contact width
push lift arm in , to where pin meets implement,
then fill outside 'gap' with washers( spacers) to where lunch pin fits

I had the same issue with my BushHog and did as SDT said about using multiple and cutting one down. It took a little over 2.5 bushings on each side.

Is this with all attachments ? Are the lift arms adjusted properly ?

This is a typical situation…not much bearing surface on that bushing. I like the multiple bushing idea.

I use two bushings on each pin on my rotary cutter.
