anybody add a rear 3pt hitch lever?

[JB4310]

Project Done. A piece of 3/16x1 steel, a 1/4x3/8x1/2 bushing, a hitch pin clip, a 1/4 steel dowel, and a 1/4 nut and bolt. Took more time to do the pictures than the rear three point lever.

This is the ones I put on right after I got my L4240. Lost the use of the so called tool box, but wasn't using anyway.

Nice, never thought of it before, don't need it that often since I have a quick hitch, but would sure come in handy sometimes. No more reaching for the lever, gettin in between moving and stationary parts

Thanks,

JB

That is impressive. Looks close to factory built as well.:thumbsup:

Nice. You know, after I looked at the pictures I found myself wondering just where the bushing was used. And also if that is the $$ orange paint from the Kubota dealer or some other brand of paint. Seems like a good color match. How does it weather?

The bushing is tack welded through the bottom of the lever for the pivot bolt to eliminate side play. The paint is Kubota orange. The blue handle is just some heat shrink. Can't tell on the weathering since the tractor is a garage queen and the weather has been so dry and hot nothing is growing and other projects are on hold.
