I have a handful of cat 1 implements and my m5-111 will be delivered soon. Anyone know where to get bushings so I can use my existing implements with my new machine? Thanks

You want cat1 -> cat2 lift arm & top link bushings. If using cat1 Quick Hitch, you need the cat1 -> QH bushings

They’re pretty cheap so if you’re getting the new machine from a dealer and mention it to them they might just give you a few or at least cut you a deal on them. They’ve probably got a bin full of them.

I made mine from some scrap thick walled galvanized pipe I had laying around.

I cut to length needed for my lift pins. I then placed on pins, added washer to outside and a lynch pin. Each implement has them so always ready to go.

My local tractor supply carries them saw some Wednesday, believe they were $2.00 each.

have a great day!
