M62 3pt lower link arms

[Keith Levin]

Hello, I purchased a slightly used m62 tlb a while back that came with some extra parts. I'm getting ready to install the hydraulic box scraper that I purchased with it but it was never set up. I have what appears to be all the cat 2, 3 pt hitch parts except for the lower linkage/ lift arms. So I have to go with kubota arms or can I get another manufacturer's arms to complete the 3 pt kit? Thank you!

Edit..."Do I have to use kubota brand lower linkarms..."

You can use other lift arms. However, you want to find ones that have the same length, width/thickness (so that they are similar strength, and so that the side link mounts will fit over the arms), and that have holes in the lift arms at the appropriate places, for the side links to attach to and the stabilizers to bolt to. The safest option is to find factory arms, but they aren't mandatory.

Thank you, trying to find dimensions for the factory ones but so far no luck. Wondering if any of the telescoping lower link arms by other manufacturers would work also.

I DO feel your pain!
Over $1,100 for the pair!
I know that it will hurt, but any substitute for a 62 HP tractor will be stupidly expensive also, and will NOT be OEM!
I thank god that my used L48 TLB came to me with the 3pt. kit.

I have read that some of these tractors have on board storage for the arms.

Since that is all you seem to be missing you might want to look around on the tractor or ask at your dealer where they might be stored or the tractor.

Yes, the dedicated TLB series DO have onboard 3pt linkage storage.
The Lift arms are stored under and alongside the engine.
The adjustable links are stored on a loader upright (post).
