The 901 has the row crop rearend, doesn't it? The 961 I had did...did all 900 series, I don't know. If its got the row crop axle, I don't know if you can buy a stabilizer for it. I made mine. Just went to Tractor Supply (Quality Farm and Fleet, most any general tractor store)and bought the 'L' shaped bracket made for the N series (just a piece of angle iron with mounting holes and the sway bar pin in place). Should be about $5. Mount this temporarily under the right axle to the two bolts holding on the fender. Now get yourself a piece of cardboard to use as a template. You are going to need to remove the sway bar pin and attach a piece of 3/8 or 1/2 cold roll plate to extend the pin down low enough to be on the same centerline with the lower link arm's pivot shackle. If these are not on center, look out! That's why I used a cardboard template to get it pretty close. With the template, layout the holes to attach to the axle bracket and the sway bar pin. Drill the needed holes, attach to purchased bracket (I welded mine as well) and bolt this assembly to the two fender bolts. Worked like a charm on my 961 and only cost about $8 total. If this didn't come through clear, email and I can send a sketch of the bracket assembly.
