MX 4700. I’m back baby!

[meanjean]

Years ago I perused this site for help and advice related to my Kubota L1801. I ended up selling it as I moved into a 65 Massey. Sold the Massey the other day and am now the proud owner of a MX4700.

Former owner bent the adjustable stabilizer arm. I would like to replace with the telescoping variety but have been unable to find a part number. Any help is greatly appreciated.

They don’t show one:

You may have to tell us the max/min lengths you’re looking for and perhaps someone can tell you what might fit?

We removed the old arm and went to Kubota dealer with a decent inventory and matched to a newer tractor with adjustable arms. The dealers are not eager to match stuff up sometimes on older equipment. The would rather you buy new with the features installed as a package. To convert a MX 5000 it cost about $450.

I wonder if the one for the L3560 would fit? Without know thing measurements, hard to know. You could call Messick and ask them.

I spoke with the dealer this am. Neither the parts dude or sales dude couldn’t come up with a part number.

I would be real surprised if a part from a different series didn’t work. It’s not exactly an elaborate piece of technology.

Post a picture of the turnbuckle as you removed it and measure eye to eye. Then post a picture of each end at the attachment point on the tractor.

That information should allow anyone to measure there and let you know if it fits, and on what tractor.

Going to say it’s in the 18”-20” mark.

Would heat it up and bend it back in my heavy duty vise.
