Well, just crud! I set the finishing mower off today so I could use the box blade on the L2501 with 30 hours on it now. I started backing up to the box blade and felt some resistance, so I stopped and got off to look. The adjustable thing that sets the height of the right side lift arm had come off at the top. I don't know how in the @*^$ that could happen? The hitch pin had dropped off and the ball end just slipped off the pin and fell down and of course when I started backing up it bent the you know what out of the turnbuckle on that side. After some colorful language that would have gotten me in great trouble years ago because one of the kids would have run straight to mama and squawked about it...I pulled forward enough to get it off the tire. I assume the turnbuckle threaded ends can be replaced or is it a whole unit? This would be a good time to upgrade to the stabilizer bars. I am curious as to what the turnbuckle would cost as I need to use the tractor again before I could receive any stabilizer type bars. I need to go over to my oldest boys place (across the road) and do some work with it on Tuesday when he will be home so I sort of need something pretty quick and assume the Kubota dealer will have a turnbuckle on hand. Anyone deal with this before? I had to drop the box blade to do some FEL work, it was rubbing too hard on that side without the turnbuckle.
