- Kubota M59, JD530, JD310SG. Restoring Yanmar YM165D
One thing I never buy is oem tie rod ends, always aftermarket. OEM ends have no grease fittings and are super expensive. Aftermarket are cheaper and come with grease fittings.
The M59 doesn't have a grease fitting there either. I use a grease needle on mine, and so far it is tight (1100 hrs).
Kubota's construction TLBs all use the same front axles and steering that the similar HP Ag tractors do. It's nice that they think it is strong enough for a machine that is designed for heavy FEL use.
