My B6100 is missing the position control arm for the three point hitch. Im going to fabricate one but would like to see a picture of what it looks like other than on the parts diagram. If someone has some time could the post a picture for me. Thanks

You could probably drop "007Kubotaguy" a PM and discover he's has one he would sell. I don't know, but he has many parts for older machines.

I like making part, tools and saving money, but sometimes those little details can take a lot of time!

Its a zinc plating with a yellow diachromate coating applied after. The problem with painting of powdering bolts/nuts is as soon as you turn it with a wrench it destroys the coating and looks awful.

Nice. What process are you using to plate? I***8217;d rather not powdercoat every last piece.

This is my setup. I got the 3 gallon copy/cad kit from Caswell plating. My power supply is a 30v/10a that I got off amazon. I did not have good results with the diachromate Caswells sells and found a guy on YouTube who had a different mix and have had excellent results with it. I got the sodium diachromate powder he used off eBay.

The original parts had a small hole (~1/16") about 1/8"from the end for a spring clip or cotter pin. Keeps everything on the shaft when they work loose. Jeff

I added it already. I had forgotten it. Thanks, good eye.

Did you make those stops? Looks much nicer than the stock.

Im actually thinking about changing to a different design that doesnt use tools to adjust the stops. Thought about drilling .125 holes every .25 the length of the rod and using hairpin cotters as the stops.
