lower link bushings

[Eugene23]

My lower link bushings are shot on my B2710 Kubota. There appears to be no available replacement bushings. This means that I would need to buy the whole lower link arms which is hundreds of dollars each.
So I'm wondering what you folks would suggest as an alternative to purchasing the link arms.
Thanks ahead for you consideration of this issue.

Or are you referring to the other end?

As Jack pointed out - the weld on ends are a perfect solution.

Thanks for the link. That's what I need. Not sure if the size is right, and I do wonder how it is installed. Welded?

Can you post a pic?

Would love to see one of these that are so far gone that it requires replacement. Highly rusted of course but usually fixable with the power drill hack being used to spin and clean up faces. If possible a pic would be appreciated as after more than 6 decades in the field I have never seen one needing complete replacement.

thanks in advance

I think a photo would be helpful to get the best advice. This is because the B 2710/2910 have different than standard lift arm ends. They extend and then retract back in place after the implement is connected up And lifted up off the ground. I do though think that the weld on ends could be made to work.

I’m both surprised and not surprised that that the movable ends are not available for purchase.
