[QUOTE="David., post: 2957588, member: 67"] Idea is that the left one with the gaitor on it sets the machine in required centre position when lower links are raised. When you lower eg a cultivator into work, and side movement is desired, the sprung chain hooked to the cab support pulls the little lever up to unlock the stablizer as arms lower to allow lateral movement. They are nearly all seized up by now but still operate OK as a fixed stablizer for fert spreader/sprayer etc. The gas strut on the offside lower link arm just stops the arm slapping on the tyre when you drive about with the arms raised. They have all long since snapped off. If you are really lucky you might have the adjustable spring loaded rod that fits between the two lower link arms, to maintain the correct hook spacing for picking up mounted implements. Otherwise you will need a mate to do this....or a broom handle in the cab to reach down with. You can certainly buy a turnbuckle check-chain set from likes of vapormatic, that fit in place of gas strut and stablizers and use the same mounting holes. [/QUOTE]
