1972 Kubota L210 adjustable lift rods

[jwage]

MiI have a Kubota L210 and the adjustable lift arms/rods are different lengths. The threads are messed up and painted over so I can't get them to adjust. I really don't need to adjust them all the time, I just want to get them to be the same length one way or another and leave them. Today I tried soaking in PB blaster and heat and I couldn't get them to budge.

Does anyone know where I could order an aftermarket replacement that would work?

Try the dealer or West Kentucky Tractor Salvage, or Weaver compact tractor.

I've found where I can buy a replacement, but I don't know what size I need.

Another place to try is All States Ag Parts in Wisconsin and other locations

I know for sure they have salvaged a couple of L210's

You may have to grind a little width off of the sockets where the pins go through but they should work.

If you are interested in salvaging the originals, you should be able to do so as follows. Start by letting PB Blaster, Yield, or whatever you prefer soak into the threaded rod portion. Next pound out as much of the bend(s) as possible by observing where the assembly should be supported on wooden blocks, then use a small sledge and a block of wood to persuade movement in the right direction. When satisfied they are straighter than before, then clamp the threaded rod end into a heavy vice, apply heat from oxy-acetylene or oxy-map to heat the outer sleeve. Between the penetrant, the pounding, the heat and the torque they should separate. Then get a die or thread chase and clean the threads up. I even use a miniature cutoff wheel and diegrinder/dremel with good results to clean and reshape threads. The whole process is more than a little work, but you have nothing to lose and you will have the original setup.
