Savvy mid arm with hydro assist

[Nick21]

I'm currently installing the savvy mid arm and already have the hydro assist installed. It appears that the u bolt with bracket will no longer work savvy front truss.

Looking through the directions made by @Chris, it shows that the bracket should be cut and welded, however it then says to make a different bracket and weld that on.

If you have done the same thing it would be helpful to see pictures of how you set it up

I’m going to tag @mrblaine here since he’s the one who did the bracket work.

Take off the U-bolt bracket. You will use the spacer and long bolt. A tab out of 1/4" x 2" flat bar about 6-7" long then gets made. Start with a 1/2" hole in one corner with about 1/4" of material around it. Cut back a slight angle from the end where the hole in so it can angle down slightly and the bend over to the face of the stiffener for the mid arm. When you get it so you can put it on and off without too much effort and it handles the nut being tightened down without pulling it away from the face of the stiffener, weld'er up.
