I purchased a new drawbar safety chain and I understand that one end is bolted to the right drawbar stay. I'm not sure where and how the other end attaches. Does it attach to the lift lever stop? Also, if it does attach to the stop, how does the chain prevent movement of the lift lever? If the stop is positioned below the lever, one could still raise the lift. If the stop is above the lever, I dont't understand how the chain could prevent lever movement as well. Does the chain serve only as a warning? Thanks much in advance.

The sole functioning part on the safety chain is the stop. If you still have the little clamp on stopper for the control lever quadrant, you just open it up a little more and insert the safety chain stop. You would lower the lift all the way and then position the stopper above the lever to prevent you from accidentally raising the lift and bending the drawbar stays. The stabilizer bars are slotted and adjustable so you can still set the correct drawbar height.

The only reason that the chain is there, is so you don't lose the stopper and to serve as a reminder of what you should do when the stabilizer bars are hooked up. Remember that the original stopper was kinda thin and you could deflect the position lever to go around it if you wanted to. The safety chain stopper has a bent flange on it that prevents you from bypassing it like you could with the stock stopper. I hope this clears up your questions.

Hey Jeb-
DOn't get confused with the drawbar stays and the stabilizer bars---two different things here. Stays connect from the top link rocker to the pins on your 11-hole drawbar and are adjustable for height. The stabilizer bars go underneath the rear axle and connect to the fender bolts for the SOLID stabilizer bars (or anti-sway bars). I know you meant to say STAYS, just some friendly nitpicking LOL But you are right on about the WARNING badge and chain.

I usually get in the habit of refering to the respective bars as "Stay bars" and "Sway bars" to avoid confustion. Maybe they should be called "stabilizers" and "Stay-put bars"? Everybody has their own lingo, I guess. Have a good one, Tim!
