First I wanted to thank everyone on this forum. I've lurked and learned quite a bit over the last couple of years.
I inherited a Kubota L2850 from my grandfather. I've been using it to clear the driveway of snow, clear brush, move dirt, gravel, and some very large rocks.
When I got it, all of the 3pt hitch pieces were missing. I've finally gotten around to collecting everything except for the pins that connect the lower links to the chassis.
I'm pretty sure it's called a Lower Link Pin. I've seen all the ones at Tractor Supply and tons listed online, but none of them seem appropriate to this tractor.
All of the ones I've seen appear to bolt onto the tractor, but it looks like the pin I need would be something more simple that just slides into the 2 holes in the cast chassis, and is retained by a simple bolt and retaining plate.
I've attached a picture of the pivot point.
Am I wrong about this? I haven't been able to find a picture or reference to the pin, even in the Kubota parts manual. Am I missing something?
Also, if I'm right about the retaining plate, is mine too short. It barely overlaps the hole and it looks cut. Should it be longer?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Brad
PS - I hope I've gotten my terminology right. If not please let me know so I can be clearer with my questions.
