Kubota B21 TLB
I'm the proud owner of a B21 TLB, but I bought it used and the 3pt. parts (lift arms, lift links, stabilizer chains and toplink) are missing. They are normally stored on the tractor and I'm sure they are sitting in someone's garage gathering dust. I'd like to use the 3 Pt. this summer for some rough mowing, but I'm looking for a source (especially online) for a set of lift links. I received a generic 3pt. assembly for christmas, (see atachment) but the lift links don't seem to match up with the lift ends on my Kubota. The upper ends of the lift links have ball (or are those 'Heim') joints, but so do the ends of the lift arms on my tractor, which would make it double jointed? Doesn't seem to make sense to me. The threaded ends of the pins supplied with the kit do not fit inside the ends of the Kubota lift arms either. The attached pictures come from the supplier of the 3pt. kit. I think I need lift links with a "toggle" on the upper end, similar to the lower ends. I've operated backhoes and heavy equipment for years, but this is my first experience with ownership and 3Pt. attachments. The B21 is an amazing machine for it's size and I'd like to make use of the 3pt. as well. Thanks for any input and I apologize if this has already been discussed.

The attached picture shows the standard Kubota hitch components. Some of the sponsers here have online parts ordering for Kubota. The hitch parts are expensive.

The B21 is very capable /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

skipsb21,

Tractorsmart (click here) offers Kubota parts manuals you can download for free, and has an on-line parts catalog that lets you type in a part number and get the price...

You may have to email them for the link to the parts manual for the B21.

They are good people from what I hear. Take a look...

Have you talked to a Kubota dealer and asked for a look up on the tractor history? Perhaps you can find out who the original owner was.
