the arm looks straight to me.
it's seriously too far extended for the weight on the thing, but it does not appear to be bent.
the 1/4 ton setting would be for a 4cylinder gas motor only... 500lbs is not much weight.
the motor alone is 650 lbs dry. with all the stuff on it, and the transmission I would not go below 1/2 ton... preferably 3/4!
you should pull the arm out of the sleve, and take a picture of the end. I bet you have some stretched metal, if not cracked...
