backhoe top link?

Sammy3700 · Dec 22, 2012

I think I remember someone posting a reinforced or heavy duty toplink for the tphon the L2800-L3700. This would be for use with a backhoe. If I am remembering it bolted in under or near the seat as well as the 6 bolts that hold the standard hitch on. Thanks for any help.

I purchased the setup for an L3130 last month from Messick's and just found a BL4690B to utilize it. When I get it installed I will try to get some pictures of it.

Is it only the heavy duty top link? I would love to see pictures when you get it installed. Thanks

To eliminate some possible confusion, this is a reinforcement for the toplink attachment point on the tractor. It is heavier metal and spreads the load on the rear transmission casting to better withstand the loads put on it by the backhoe. It is bolted up the back under the existing top link bracket and bends over the top of the transmission case and fastens to bolts on the top through additional brackets.

I am expecting to have to remove the seat pan to reach those bolts across the top, just haven't sat aside the time to do it yet.

When you get it on please send pictures. I tried the BL4690B part number on the Kubota site and it can't find it. What is the cost of the bracket? A complete sub frame looks to be 1500.00
