3-Point Hitch 3pt hitch parts/kit needed

[Jimbo1972]

Hello! I am a new guy here. Just picked up an older B5200 w/ loader.
I need all the parts for the Cat1 3 point hitch. Not doing anything crazy back there so don’t need top of the line stuff.
What’s a good kit or list of parts to get for a decent price?
If anyone has some used parts, let me know!
Thanks for the help!

I’ve bought 3pt hitch stuff from them. Didn’t like the OEM turnbuckle sway control checks and level control.


Sometimes get lucky on eBay.

Thanks for the info. Anyone use those universal kits on eBay? Their reviews are hit or miss and price point is around $200.

Just wanted to chime in here. I had to replace the entire hitch assembly on my B3200 because some enterprising meth-head decided to steal mine.
Long story short, those $200-300 hitch kits are pure garbage. After five minutes of any kind of work, they bend and break. Ask me how I know.

Ultimately, I had to part with many dollars and rebuild the OEM hitch.



I tried to order some pull-offs from my local Kubota dealer, but ain't-no-breaks given when it comes to sellin' parts and makin' money.
To do it over again, I think I would pay for the OEM lift arms and fab up the rest.

Hard to beat OEM.
Just a few times I’ve seen lift arms at the scrap yard. City/county take offs from drawbar mowers. They are quickly bought.
Had a Ford 860 lift arms wear out the ball hitch ends after 50 years. Tried welding on repair ends but kept breaking when grading the driveway. Had them professionally welded and still broke at the weld. Bought aftermarket arms and they worked good.

Thanks for the info. Scored everything I needed. All OEM used parts. They are in the mail now.

Any notes on who you dealt with to get those parts?
I went thru Coleman and Messicks. They of course charged full retail plus most-expensive-possible shipping.

A gentleman on one of the Kubota forums on Facebook had everything I needed at a fair price.
