Where did you get the stabilizer bars? The correct stabilizer bars for a Jet3 meet in the center under the pto shaft. The 'hinge' is a cast yoke about 3" long that is free to pivot in a bracket just above the drawbar. The stabilizer bars fit in the free end of this yoke. I guess there might be some advangage to doing it this way. I haven't found it yet. The stabilizers have to be put on the implement pins befure the lift arms. Then you gotta hunt to find the point of lift where you can swing them up and put them in that yoke without hitting the drawbar support on the tractor which is agrivating. The other thing: you can't use the PTO shield on the tractor with MM stabilizers. as the lift comes up, they'll bend it. The Jet3super I bought had homemade brackets for Ford-type stabilizers. I sure wish I hadn't thrown them away. I made some stabilizer bars a month or so ago for my 335 to work on a 4' rotary cutter. I found out today that they won't work on my new 5' King Cutter. They hit the pto when the mower is raised.
