Favor request to fellow M59 owners.

I asked my wife to put the small brochere that illustrates how to install the 3 point hitch in a safe spot for future use...
Well its safe all right no one can find it So if one of you fellow M59 owners know how to scan the booklet and send it to me it would be very much appreciated... I have already contacted the dealer he is looking into it but need to get 3 point on this weekend..

Thanks, Chuck.

Check your email. I sent you some scans but I'm not sure if they are what you want/need.

Chuck, are you sure? I thought I had every piece of information that Kubota published on our M59, but I don't know about a small brochure that specifically illustrates 3 pt installation. I've not seen one.

But we can get you fixed up out of the two owner's manuals if you that will help. Do you still have those two manuals? - The main operators manual is an 8.5x11 with 100 pages of which 5 pages are on three point hitch installation plus 2 on their M59 scheme of three point hitch operation. (pgs 55-62). Nothing there about the backhoe, apparently that's reserved for the BH op. manual

The separate "Backhoe operator's manual" is the same portfolio size as the main operator's manual but much thinner with only 20 pages. Maybe that is the one you mean? Pages 17 thru 21 are on backhoe removal and re-installation and seem to be well written and illustrated. I sure wouldn't want to try doing that without them. There's no additional information in there about the 3 pt hitch, though.

Let me know if I can scan anything in particular.

In addition to the 2 ops manuals above I find the workshop and parts manuals, the 16 page advertising brochure, One service upgrade bulletin, and two small warranty info booklets (Why are warranty guides always small and hard to read?).

Plus...we also have two specialized plastic-covered 3-page fold out charts on the M59. One is on lube points and the other on the various functions of the "Intellipanel". That's it. If there's any other printed info out there let me know.

There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I'm a literature buff. ..

Thanks guys, the info. Bill scanned for me will help me out and to be honest I never checked the owners manuall. Once I realized I had misplace the ~4 page brochere that I believed came with the 3 point hitch kit I thought I was up the proverbial creek ..
I had installed the 3 point several times on the L5240 but that was a while back and I have slept since then.. I have never even had the B/H off the M59 as I use it the majority of the time.

Thanks again.. Chuck.
