An adjustable link can be the top link, or the upright link. The upright link is called a lift arm, which attaches to the lift arm. The arm bolted to the rock shaft is also called a lift arm... it all depends on where you look at parts. I guess that I am looking for common sense terms, that aren't redundant.I thought I was okay but now I'm confused. I'm going to have to get my big word book out now Hodge....lol
I know. But, in some instances, the stabilizers are called adjustable side links; again, I can't find any difinitive, distinguishable terminology, which wouldn't lead to some sort of confusion. I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill- I'm just trying to have correct terminology that a customer, who often is a tractor newbie, will understand, since we never meet face to face and in most cases don't even speak. Most of my business is done through emails, and if I can explain to him/her what I'm doing and how it installs, and they can clearly understand or reference something with the same terminology...
That's the truth! I know that I overcomplicated things, and I doubt that I'm alone.An old farmer that lives down the road from me said some words I will never forget, "Keep it simple stupid". That applies in so many different situations it's not even funny.
You are in good company:
