MX5400 top link end.... $190!!

[DVR]

Does anyone have firsthand experience with replacing a damaged top link end on a mx5400?
I damaged mine. The tractor side replacement cat 1 end (oem) is almost $200 for just the end.
I see agri supply has similar for $29. However, agri supply is over an hour away.
If anyone has a p/n for an aftermarket replacement, please post it up.
I bought a tractor supply top link but would like to fix the original.
Thanks in advance.

Although I have a small BX, I prefer the aftermarket top links over the OEM.

You got a TSC replacement. I would have an issue paying $200 for just the end part of your OEM top link.

Only you can make that decision, but I would be more apt to keep the $200 in my pocket.

They sure do. However, I don't know which one I need.
Which is why I posted requesting firsthand information.

The aftermarket one will suffice.
I'd like to fix the other one though. I won't be buying a kubota end link. I'll match it up or weld on a replacement end (most likely).

The part number for a complete top link with depend on whether it is a Cat 1 or Cat 2

Agree to the terms of service, put in your model number and go to the three point hitch/drawbar section

I have had good luck with eparts store online, but there are a lot of places to buy out there.

Good luck with it.

DVR - sounds like you have a good plan to repair your OEM top link.

Matching thread could be a challenge but sounds like you know where you want to go.
