Teg - I can't believe that they haven't taken care of your PTO yet!
I'm ashamed about the PTO but then again I'm ashamed that I've had the tractor for over 2.5 years and have less then 100 hours on it before last wk/ed. Used it this past weekend, started the tractor in the shed to let it warm up and let the clutch out only to find out (the hard way) that I left the rototiller on. Of course the PTO was OFF but that doesn't mean much with this
L2800 tractor

. Lucky, it's a dirt floor, now I have a nice 4" trench. I've hit the pto cable several times with wd-40 and that wk/ed it worked when I cut off the
chipper/shredder 3 times!!!! I need to check it with the tiller or PHD.
<Warning, Rant Ahead> I spend so little time at the "farm" that I'm not going to waste any time (3 hours and $80 in gas) to go visit my dealer. Whom, I think is the dumbest dealer around because he never knows a darn thing about? What does kubota call them? "Product Improvement Bulletins." Why are so many dealers so clueless about these? I would assume that they would like to be on top of their game. Just too lazy to go to the website (or not smart enough). I told my dealer about the pto not working when I had the 3ph valves changed out but he did nothing about the pto. </End Rant>
Which gets back to the original post - Part number for the HD bracket?
EDIT: looked up JW5875's old post, which says: "Anyhow, I talked to Tim at Carver Equip. 910-892-7171 - kubota L 3400 have serial # (it helps to confirm part#) Part #70050-94557 reinforced top link bracket." I'll give him a call, thanks.
The couple of dealers that actually knew of the 3ph shutter and took care of your customers my hat is off to you. I wish I could have done more research and looked at the dealer more. I just wanted a tractor and the wife was behind it... should have shopped around for a better dealer.
