Bent turnbuckle on my MX4800

[aarolar]

I have finally destroyed the cheesy turn buckles on my MX4800 and I want to upgrade to the telescopic end links and tube sway adjustment. Anyone know how much the kit should run through my dealer?

I've the "cheesy turnbuckles" on my B7610 and bought the upgrade kit back in 2010 for about $250 from a 3rd party. Have not installed it yet because life got in the way.

/edit - try contacting Rosseel's in MI.

I emailed them recently regarding a 3pt hitch for my backhoe, their price beat my dealers even with shipping.

Umm, MI or MN? I'd guess Michigan given the MI, zipcode, and area code.

Yup, I wrote that before I looked it up, just remembered a cold Midwest state that started with M and didn't know if I still had the address .

Kicking myself for not upgrading at time of purchase

Unless you can run all of your implements with a Quick Hitch, it's worth the money.

Yep we have that setup on our Ford 5030 so I am familiar with it and miss it big time I can't believe no one makes a weld on kit.

Just FYI: your tractor is listed as a MX48pp. Might want to correct that in your profile.

 

[aarolar]

I can't figure out how on tapa talk already tried

Might be worthwhile to check with some tractor salvage yards. No matter what the condition of the parent tractor is, those telescopes should be A-OK. Other brands maybe can be made to work. Probably a bolt on I would think.

I lost one of my turnbuckle 'barrels' and replaced with a complete new set (pair) found on EBay for less than the 'barrel' alone.
But then again I am in trouble as one of the threaded ends got stripped and is unusable as is.
While it will be inconvenient to use I'll simply weld the stripped end in place and probably do all my adjustments from the other side.

Standard Cat I top link is $20 at Tractor Supply. Looks a bit different than Kubota but does the same job. Paint it gray if you need it to match the tractor.
