3 pt. linkage question

[Mikemahindrah]

I am in need of a replacement turn buckle for the 3 pt. hitch on my Mahindra Max 25 tractor. Mine fell off at some point. The dealer will only sell me the entire check chain and thats $100.
Any help/advice/input is appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

If you weld it would be an easy make. Ed

Huh, good point. Didnt think of that.
Thanks!

Ed,
So today I got looking at the 3 pt. in regards to welding. Any suggestions on what I could use to make up the difference in length for the missing turnbuckle?

I remember seeing these kinds of parts- including that turnbuckle- at my local Wilco farm supply store. They were right next to the pins and other tractor hardware they sell. I cant say for sure if it would be an exact fit but probably worth a look. I would imagine TSC or other farm stores in your area may have something you can use or make work.

I have been checking the local TSC on and off for about 6 months....no luck. I'm not familiar with Wilco, they arent around here. I've also checked other tractor supply stores, no luck there either.

That sounds like a bunch of bunk. PT# is10383052000. Call some other dealers and check. Retail is $66.65

I thought this would help, but looks like you already pulled the trigger. It does in fact look right though.

Hi All. Well it came today but its been raining all day and I dont have an indoor place to work on it, but in eye balling it I think the piece I ordered is going to work out just fine, and even if it dosent I'm only out $25!! I will keep you posted.
