He removes them and reinstalls the originals, measuring the roughly two-inch clearance difference. Useful for L Series owners considering this specific upgrade before buying.
Posted by the Piney Grove Homestead channel, an owner sharing a real installation attempt on his own tractor, including an unbiased account of a product that didn't work for him.
Not necessarily. The owner found the telescoping stabilizers sat farther from the tire than stock turnbuckles and would not swing wide enough to clear his box blade's lift pins.
About a two inch difference, with the original turnbuckles able to go wider than the telescoping stabilizer bars before hitting the tire.
A 14 millimeter wrench for the bolt attaching to the tractor and a 22 millimeter for the lock nut on the lift arm bracket.
