hand crank adjustable side link?

[jas67]

I would like to be able to easily adjust the tilt or my box blade without having to add hydraulics for a top-n-tilt.

Ford 8N's have a nice hand cranked gear drive adjustable side link. Does a similar item exist for Kubotas? Specifically, B7100?

Thanks,

JAS,

The RH rod on some versions was adjustable but it did not have a hand crank ala 8N Ford. Kubota dealers should be able to help with parts info.

This would allow you to pitch your box blade.

The RH rod on my '80 B7100 is adjustable, but rusted fast, I dunno about the '98 B7100 yet, I am picking it up tonight

Even w/o the rust issue, the adjustable rod isn't really adjustable from the seat. The Ford 8N setup was real nice, as the crank is easily reachable from the seat, and because it is gear driven it requires little effort, and doesn't require a wrench.

Yes, a hydraulic link would be great, but the 8N crank type just seems like a great simple upgrade.
