I managed to bend the top link on my L3240 when my sub-soiler broke, apparently just the link end cannot be replaced so it's off to Farm and Fleet for a new one, but before I spend my 25.00 is there anything special (other than the gray paint) about the Kubota top link?

I replaced one for my BX23 with an "off the shelf" top link.

OK, so I googled 'Kubota toplink', and the first result was a TBN thread from two years ago discussing the merrits of a 189.00 Kubota brand toplink. It was brought out that some folks have a (generic) one for each implement, that stays with it and of course is already adjusted to length and ready to go. Duh!! Guess that answers my question :)

The last top link I purchased was a few months ago...From my local Kubota dealer, generic top link, wanna say the price was around $20.

Mr. Murphy paid me a visit today :mad: and showed me why Kubota's top link is better...... the threaded end is captured so it won't FALL OUT if the retainer nut vibrates loose.



God was watching out for me, instead of two punctured tires I squeaked by with two cut pins. Whew!! (hey, maybe there's still hope for tomorrows election! :))
