I recently purchased a set of stabilizer bars for my 8N and do not know which way to install the brackets . There seems to be 2 ways to install the brackets . One way is for the plate with the holes in it are closer to the tires and the other way is the plate with the holes in it is closer to the center of the tractor .I have asked the dealer I purchased them from and he don't know . I also looked in all of my books and can't determine it either . Looking from the rear of the tractor , is there a left bracket and a right bracket or doesn't it matter ????? ?
Thanks
Alan

The stabilizer brackets mount so the vertical part of the angle bracket is closer to the center of the tractor with the pin aligned with the lift arm pivot (on the differential housing). If they aren't aligned properly the 3 point hitch won't raise correctly if not at all.

All I've seen are set up with the bracket and pin away from the tire. There are different varieties of brackets, some with one hole, some with multiple holes, some with implement attachment configurations (usually old brackets). Unless you are actually using an implement attachment combo bracket with an implement, in all cases the sides are probably interchangeable. If you have multi-hole brackets, install the bracket without the pin first, then position your sway bar to see which hole should be used. Then install the pin. If you have adjustable sway bars it may not matter which hole you use, as long as the bar can be adjusted long or short enough. However, the angle will change slightly and can be a problem if it doesn't match up with the bends in the end of your sway bars. You just have to experiment a little.
