B7800 3-pt conversion

[jrobb1981]

Hello, this is my first time on the site and I am looking to convert my 3-pt turn-buckles to pin and bar linkage. My question is to find a good source for parts other than my dealer. I have no problem with my dealer we are good friends, I am just looking for new source without the KUBOTA price.

I WENT TO THE DEALER IT WAS EASIER DID NOT FIND ANY PLACE ELSE TO GET THEM FROM

I've heard good things about TractorSmart.com though I've never bought anything from them myself.

I think that the dealer is the best choice. I havn't seen any aftermarket dealers that carry the necessary parts. I would definatly suggest changing your setup. It has saved me lots of time and money from replacing stripped threads on the turnbuckles by converting to the pin type extensions. If you need a parts list there are several posts that list the needed parts.

Don't worry about the price!!!
You'll be so happy with the conversion that you won't care.
This was the best modification I have ever made to my B7800.
You won't believe the difference in changing implements.
Your dealer will know exactly the parts you need (probably more than you think). If he doesn't, find another dealer.

Go to TRACTORSMART, he was able to provide me all of the pieces parts to do the conversion on my B7800--it was almost like he had the entire kit prepackaged, it was around $120 and his shipping was very fast.

In fact I didn't know what parts I needed so I just sent an email asking what was needed to do the conversion. Very good service.

Follow up question - why would this be a good mod?

I own a B7800 with the turn buckle set up and yes, it's kind of a pain but it's workable. Can someone decribe the pin and bar linkage setup and why it is better?

Thanks!

When you pull the pin, the arms telescope in and out like those on a B2910/B3030 (see picture). This is one of the features that make these tractors "premium" over the more basic B7800. Much easier to make small adjustments to line up and attach implements. Like Capt Pat, I bought the parts from Tractorsmart.com for about $120, I think Ronny was the guy I dealt with there. Best Mod I have made to my B7610. To the OP, I do not believe there is an aftermarket version of these parts.

How about the install of these. I have too thought about upgradin from the turnbuckle. Are these easy to do yourself?

I Have a B26 will this conversion work with it? I am willing to try & I have been searching for the part #s on old treads but have had no luck.
