Ok - I have to ask, 'cause everyone WANTS to know - how did you bend the dipper stick?
I have same problem if you mean the oil dip stick. I bent mine back from pushing brances/trees off trail. Did not see limb up by oil dip stick. Also knocked off fuel bowl but, that is fixed. What I have problem is after changing the oil it registers full with 5qts but manual says it should be 6qts. Do I need to replace dip stick holder or does tractor actually only take 5 qts? I am reading a lot of people think manual is incorrect and said tractor only takes 5qts??

I think you totally missed the point!
OP is VERY specific that he bent the BACKHOE "dipper".
Nothing said about the engine OIL dip stick!
So........How did he do that?
I dunno, ........but I sure do want to hear the story!
I can't say it would fit for sure...but they are pretty similiar. I've taken a number of measurements to add a thumb mount for my BH75. I'd say go to your closest Kubota dealer and take some measurements, and ask the service department.
If the part described is actually bent, what other damage was done, if any?
I have beat the crap outa mine on an L2800 for almost 15 years and have never bent anything. Blown a couple ram seals…but no major damage,
Pics please OP

The main pin, is the same size so it's very likely to be the same.
The cylinder attached differently and might or might not be the same length.
At minimum you would need to shim the pin end to get the width right.

Again - please explain what caused this to occur. If something bent that huge piece of metal, something else will be affected.

Like @85Hokie said, other things might have been affected.
Also, there's some VERY gifted folks here that can do some amazing things with metal. I'm not one of them.
They may have some other suggestions if they see the damage.

The tractor is 16 yrs old which doesnot make any difference. Pulling 16 ft log off pile holding in grapple on 1 end kicked myself ! just looking to repace bh75 dipper arm & piston with bh77 arm & piston ! if it will fit has thumb hole
Thank you for blue prints. taking measurements today , Hoping it will work has thumb hole ! Replacing parts not fixing!
If the 77 doesn't fit, you could add a thumb mount to the replacement 75. As I mentioned earlier...I have a BH75 and in the process of fabricating a thumb mount for it. Should have it all welded on the dipper this weekend. Planning to clamp the "tacked" assembly in place tonight and check for proper operation.
Having A hard time finding bh75 dipper arm , none to be found in USA . Took lots of measurements of bh77 dipper arm ,elbow arm is 1 1/2 inches of difference everthing else is the same.I would use bh77 piston also. Is there any dealer out there that would know?
