Question on Kubota BH75 Dipperstick

[Dan Hatch]

New here, but have had l3400 with a Kubota BH 75 for a while. Bent the dipperstick.
Does anyone know if the dipperstick off the BH 76 with the mount for thumb will fit a Bh75?
I ask one dealer and parts guy did not know. He said they are different numbers, that is all I know.
Thanks, Dan.

I have to ask, how the heck did you bend the dipperstick?

I’ve owned two kubota tlb’s, and both hoes felt like they run out of pressure long before you’re bending anything.

Thumb bent it.
Anyone know of a Kubota junkyard?

How about a picture!

Could you have it straightened with a hydraulic press? Then perhaps reinforce it?

This must be unusual. Usually the cylinder rod bends I believe. Were you carrying something with the backhoe and had it snag something, so the tractor power actually did the damage?

call dealer with serial number of the back ho and see if it has any recall
