The NF and the WF calls for different lift arms (proper nomenclature)

NF IH-473924-r1 (short)

WF IH-548590-r1 (long & under serial #665,000)

Those arms are made from 3/8" mat'l and are quite hefty.

Thanks for the investigation David. I didn't want to call it a lift arm because people immediately think 2 (at least I do when someone says arm. Otherwise my thought goes to one-arm bandits).

And you're certainly right about 3/8" steel being hefty material. Because of its shape it's hard to put any kind of lever on it (like a 4' pipe) to bend it. I generally just used a BFH around 2# and hit that sucker a few times.

It's actually not the arm that hits the grill housing but the end of the rod sticking thru it. I even tried shifting the arm slightly where it bolts to the A frame with those 3 big bolts, but the holes for the bolts are pretty tight fit so it doesn't help.
