Mowing B2320, B2620 and B2920 mower lifting mechanism for RCK54-29B and RCK60-29B

I see the problem, very sloppy. I had a bushing made up with your measurements (cost $40) Nice and tight now. How Kubota can be so precise on their linkage adjustment rod (26.6 in), yet allow the lift arm assembly to be so sloppy, which results in meaningless measurements of the linkage rod.

Hi everyone newbie tractor owner (170 hrs) and I have succeeded in breaking the rear lift rod on my mid mount belly mower 60" - seemed like an easy enough fix until I realize the front clevis and pin assy has a cotter pin to remove ---and remove the arm - seems to me this pin was put in the wrong direction from the dealership - there is not enough room to slide the headed pin out of the holes with the main tractor hardware in that area - if the head of the pin was toward the inside of the tractor instead of the outside the **** thing would slide right off ? was it suppose to be in that way ? I don't know how to get that pin out without doing some serious mechanical crap - thinking of using a 90 die grinder with a rubber wheel to sheer that pin out ? am I totally missing something here - I would really appreciate any help - Need to mow soon

It's a bear to remove but I did it a couple of days ago. I had to work at it from the rear and then move to the side of the mower and go back and forth til I got both tails reasonably straight. Once you get the cotter pin out, yes there is enough room to slide the clevis pin out.

thank you GP - i was able to get the cotter pin out - but now cannot slide the clevis pin out - there is like a steel angle / housing that prevents the clevis pin from sliding totally out - seems the the head of the clevis pin should have been toward the inside of the tractor not out ?

I cant remember which way the pin was inserted on mine. Try it in various positions of up and down on the lift. If I recall, that helped.

No problem with the wobble. I agree. Lift lift height is about as high as it can go, without redesigning the 2620. But I got some Big Rocks...Still I am happy.
