Kubota BX25 Thumb Installation (REVISED)

[Tractor Seabee]

This is a revised version of a previous quote that did not get much response. I bought the thumb on CL at a real bargain. Owner bought and never installed. No instructions. His BX 25 is same vintage as mine. This is a clamp on type; later models K revised the dipper arm for a pinned attachment. This thing is heavy enough that I don't want to horse around with figuring out how it mounts. I was surprised the 2 moving parts (pins) do not have grease fittings, a little rust will make it seize up quick if you don't keep a lot of oil on it.

Here are some pictures. Pictures of your install or the factory instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Phew, sounded like a life and death matter with not enough responses in 5 days to 2 posts, oh well, when you get some time undo those 3 or 4 bolts and shove it on and post some pics up.
