Top Link is hard to turn ... what lubricant do you use?

Jim - glad you are happy with it.

Like I said before, I bought a couple of those with different lengths and prefer them over OEM.

I bolted a top link to each 3PH implement, as they're generally a 'set and forget' operation. Each has lots of 'rustcheck' in them. they all spin nice,even when I 'fine tune'.

Good idea, but I’m still using a QH. Frankly, maybe not my best idea since different implements need adjustment of the top link any way.

Just to follow up, I bought the Tractor Supply replacement for $34.99 which I find is much better than the OEM original. That's kind of a shame considering how much the tractors cost. I think Kubota would be better off using the Tractor Supply version.

I was a bit surprised at how light the top link that came on my L3901 is. I have half a dozen or more aftermarket Cat 1 toplinks from several different sources including TSC and they are all a good bit stouter.
