The lift brackets, which are attached to three-point lift arms, are gradually twisting (bending) outward. This is a 72" belly mower mounted on a L3130. It mows well, but I have shortened the lift connecting rods to compensate for the bent brackets. I think I can continue using this indefinitely, but am wondered if anyone else has seen this and what did it lead to.

Not uncommon and usually caused by lift rods adjusted too short causing mower to lift against travel stops.
