While we're on the subject of ford lift arms...

We have a jewel of a little ford 2000 with untold thousands of hours and the three point system is just completely worn out and its wear is well earned. I have a little 2600 with lower hours and straight fairly tight lift arms. When occasionally used to move round bales, the bars bend and flex. The tractors have a lot more heart than lift arm... Almost any other tractor you see has more substantial lift bars; the japanese fords have more substantial lift bars. Are there heavier bars from a different tractor model that would go on as a direct replacement?

My son used to work for a local lumberyard. They had a newer Ford tractor that they used for moving snow with a back blade, and the lift arms were flimsy and always getting bent. He made a set of lift arms using the 2"? square tubing that is similar to Reese hitch material. He used the Ford ends on the new arms, and the center lift point of the old arms were welded to the top of the 2" tube. Very simple modification that appears to be indestructible.
