3 point hitch, lower lift arm bent, right side as you drive (the side with the leveling box). It's bent because the bolt (looks like a clevis pin but it's not, I just don't know what to call it) that attaches to the tractor runs through a bushing, and the bushing disintegrated, which allowed the bolt to wobble and over time bent pretty much everything on the right side of the 3 point.
Type 2 so it's fairly thick, and not something I can straighten. it's only bent a few degrees and I want to try and straighten it up and get new bolts and bushings to see if that will work before I buy a whole new assembly.
my question is this, who or what can straighten that out? some sort of hydraulic press? I'm gonna call the machine shop here in Selma, but I'm open to any other suggestions.

You can do it with some heat and a hammer but that will weaken it. Are you talking about the main lift arm? My tractor supply carries some of those. Pretty easy to just change out. You can always call cross creek tractor in Cullman (or online) and see if they have a similar model parts tractor in their junk yard.

I bent one of mine one time. Took it off and laid it across a gas fish cooker burner till she glowed red then beat it straight with an axe.

There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

the guys here at the machine shop in Selma hooked me up. Oglesby's Machines, put this thing on a hydraulic press and had it straight in about 2 minutes. He said they have straightened ones WAY worse than mine. He said they break really easy if they're bent more than a few degrees and they just weld them back together. Mine didn't break.
They also educated me. the reason it was bent was because I had to much sway. wider implements take shorter stabilizer / sway bars, and narrow implements (like the boom I have been using recently) need longer sway / stabilizer bars. This, I didn't know, but makes all the sense in the world. so the bars I use with my bushhog (31 inches long) are too short for my Boom..
Off to Tractor Supply I go...yeah, bad idea. they got zip. I thought, OH, CO-OP will have them...another bad idea. CO-OP in Selma just took a crap. all they have now is clothes and boots..very little of anything else. total store remodel. So it's order online or go to Montgomery..

Before i knew what they cost i paid a guy $150 to weld one back together. On the bright side, it has held for about ten years.
