My brother has a John Deere 40 and he got a four foot bushhog for it but it sways back and forth did they
have a stabilizer bar or stabilizer chain it has two chains but I did not see a way to adjust them like my
new John Deere thanks Tracy from NC
 
If it is a 40 S, I can't find a way to attach a normal set of sway bars or chains, like on a Massey or Ford. The original John Deere sway bar was a yoke shaped affair that attached to the tractor just below the top link attachment and the implements had a vertical slot that it went into to control side to side movement. Most after market equipment isn't made that way. The 40,420,430, and 1010 used the same system. I had a 40 and 420 T and I made a set of normal sway bars for them.
 
I believe they used spacers that mounted on the bottom of the differentia[ housing to limit sway travel. As I recall they were called " elephant ears". They are hard to find now but you may look for them at tractor salvage yards.
 
On my 430 I have one of the "yoke type" setups that were the JD sway bar system on that type tractor. Mine goes over the drqwbar and to the hitch pins of implement. A real pain to hook up. I made stabelizers one side has a long turnbuckle type link, the other is from a fort Ferguson sway bar. It is a U so I put short pins on the inside of drawbar bracket for stabelizer. I also have a 320 U and it has pins on the inside of drawbar braket. Stabelizers on it are from Ford Ferguson links that usually go from 3 pt top link to 3 point arms. I know the S has a different drawbar support. Look it over and see if there is a place for a short or regular length 3 point implement pin at or near same verticle height as current inner 3 pt arm attachments and go from there. On my 430 the sway bars for Ford Ferguson were too short.
