L3400 racheting/crankable side link

I wonder if the crank adjustable one from my Kioti would fit it. They are fairly close in size. it is even the right color.

James, wrong style. Yours has a clevis top, his is a ball swivel top.

Yep, now that I think about it, yep...

The easiest way to keep these types of threads (exposed and in the dirt) is to not lube them with grease at all. I have the same problem with my 4410. I take them apart once every two years or so and clean up the treads with a wire brush and squirt on some WD-40 and they are good again for a while.

I also try to adjust them without any weight on the three point. That also helps considerably.
