Bent lower 3pt links

[Earthmover]

I've bent the crap out of the two lower links of the 3pt hitch on my Kubota L245DT. Need to find some replacements, but they're over $200 each from the dealership. Looks like it isn't neccesarily a brand specific part, just a bar of steel with a Hiem joint on each end. Any thoughts of places to look, or used ones to buy, etc?? Thanks

I would love to hear how you did it and even better would be some pics. Thanks.

Hey, Mover. Tough luck guy. Don't know much about the L245; but if you're talking about the links with ball joints on each end that attach to the implement, generic versions can be purchased at TSC. They're made in India, but they work fine. I think they're around $40 each, maybe less.

Put a pair on my Ford 4000 last year. I'm quite happy with the result.
