Broken linkage to raise and lower FEL on BX25D

[perryrlund]

I previously posted an issue today I had with not being able to raise or lower the bucket on my BX25D. I believed it was something broke in the linkage and BX25DRookie gave me the info to get at the linkage. I took it apart and was rather surprised that the bracket and the bolt that connects the linkage to the hydraulic pump were both broken. I supplied photos of the broken parts. The bolt threads onto a bolt that looks to be welded onto the bracket. It looks like I have to remove the bracket that holds the linkage to the haudraulic pump and will probably have to drill and tap it out. It's not a small job as that bracket looks like it will be real fun to remove.

Has anyone ever come across this problem? I'm baffled as to how the bracket and the bolt broke and I'm really dumbfounded as to how the bolt sheared off. I may take this one in to get it repaired as I'm not really sure what I'm looking at to get that bracket off to get to the bolt repair. If they had just used a nut on the end of the bolt it would be an easy repair but the nut is welded onto the bracket so it looks like I'll need to remove the entire bracket and then drill and tap it. Any input from the experts would be appreciated.

I would just by the parts you broke.
Stay 7J612-61213
Spool arm 7J612-62880

You might need the pin and clip if you don't have them.

It will run you abouty $100 for both parts.

FYI: Those parts bolt to the Spool valve, not the hydraulic pump.

We need more information to help you.
Kubota BX25D?
What year?
How about a photo of the tractor Model/Serial number plate?
How about a photo or two where the broken part is located when it's installed on the tractor?

Are you familiar with the Kubota website parts exploded view feature? (look up your own repair parts)
Do you have a WSM for your tractor? (work shop manual)
You may be able to download one for free here: https://kubotabooks.com/homepage/
Then you may be able to show us a WSM photo.

If I have the choice for a new factory part, or "cobbing" something together at home, you have to decide how long do you want the repair to last?

I did look at the Kubota website parts exploded view at/near the loader valve and could not locate a
part that looked like your photo.

You will have to help/provide more info to us so we can help you.

FYI: ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED RUDE ON A FORUM, it's interpreted as "shouting"

Your thread title for this thread says BX12D.

If my tractor broke like your photo, and a new factory part was still available, I would likely just order/replace it.
