Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Glad to see you're back in business Kurt. Looks like the other lift bars were bent using down force, a lot of it! :)

If the deck is not on the tractor and the j bar is hanging there when lowered it could hit something. I know they bend easily...or at least I've seen a good many that way.....

I see there are pins through a couple of the tips there....I have to look at the ones on the blackhoods.....that one has a tube that a rod goes through....looks like a more modern set-up.

I was surprised when I got that one. I've never seen that design, but I like it. It seems to be stronger. Maybe a design improvement when these kept getting bent.
