That amount of lift is all I get with a Q42A on my Yellow 782 with curved upper arms

If it doesn't, you have something on the tractor not right. Remove the center cover and have a look.

As far as being lopsided, your video leaves alot to be desired to be able to help you. I'm gonna go take some picks of mine, maybe will help, be right back.

I'll grab another vid when I get home later - I like vids because this way, you all can clearly see what I see vs. me trying to describe.

I'll measure the lift rod as well. But yea, I was always baffled at the limited amount of distance the hydro "ear" travels

Here are pics of mine (on a 149)
First is the lift arm with lift fully raised. It looks to go to the same place as yours does in the video. The next is the lift fully lowered with the thrower on the ground. The third and fourth is the thrower mechanisim raise and lowered.
Fifth and sixth are lift rod length (my lift rod is adjustable) and thrower height fully raised.

So watching your video again, my conclusion is that your lift rod is too long.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe my lift arm is to long? I measured it at 27 inches last night give or take. The blower in the raised position was 2inches on the "passenger" side and 1/2 inch on the "driver" side....certainly not a ton of clearance. This measurement was taken at the skids.

P.s. where might I obtain an adjustable lift arm like yours?! I like it alot
