I own a LS 3039H with telescoping draft links which I think are horrible. The sway is too much and I would rather have the turnbuckle draft links. I remember seeing LS turnbuckle draft links. Does anyone have the part number for them or for an aftermarket turnbuckle draft link for the 3039H.

If they are same as the ones on the XR4XXX's you may not setting them up correctly. Hook up implement, lift, push implement to left and get the front end of the right side stabilizer straight as possible before inserting the stop pin. Then do same to left side stabilizer while pushing implement to the right.
Alternative is get a CAT 1 quick attach and do above once, when you install the QA.
The LS stabilizers are far superior to turn buckle style.

I wouldn't swap the ones on my Kioti for all the turnbuckles in the world.

That's a new one. Liking turnbuckles better than the telescoping.
I like the telescoping sway bars on my current tractor far better than the crappy turnbuckles my last tractor had.

I agree. Telescopic are much better. Just replaced my chains on a massey ferguson 240 with a nice aftermarket telescopic set.

Show us a pic of your hook up and maybe we can help.
The only thing I can think of he is dropping the pin in the slots on the stabilizers. Whose purpose is if you want a lot of sway in your stabilizers. There is very little sway in my Kioti if I drop the pins in the proper holes. Next to none. I assume the LS version would be the same. Or something is loose or broken.. I am having trouble visualizing the problem.

That's exactly why I asked for pictures.

I hate mine too - what I plan to do at some point is replace ONE with a turn buckle style.... This allows for quick release/adjustment from one side, and the ability to tighten it right up with the other.
I have been through 3 sets now I think? And I only have about 350 hours on the tractor!
I do also plan to put a quick hitch on, I just need to fix some of my implements to fit it!

Once I figured out the right hole on each side of the link I marked mine with a dab of paint that corresponds to the mower color, blade color, etc. Finish mower is orange, rotary is yellow, blade is red, etc. You want a little play or something has to give if you get in a bind.
