So here is dads lynch pin.
A bolt, washers, wire, hose clamp.
He said he kept losing the lynch pin.

The problem was the L5030 has larger cat2 arms and the mower had cat1 pins. There should have been sleeves in the tool box, so I went to TSC and picked up a few.

Impressive

That’s what I’m talking about!!!!
BTW I misspoke the other day - 4-way not 6-way blade. Still better than the knackered scrape blade I have for the tractor!

I feel better now because I don't have a 6 way blade!! But you will be fine without it

You may want to replace the special Lynch pin with a bolt for the bucket because it is easily lost when using it to do tree work and Kubota wants lot money for it. The standard TSC pin is not nearly as strong as the Kubota Lynch pin.

How about a tether on the pin? Or a carabiner Instead of a pin?

So next trip starts mid May and includes Sweden where she will have some free time. Here is a link for possible things to see and do that she is looking at. She has been there before so she has a better idea of what to spend time on. Drew, your landlord lady may have ideas too?

Sure try it. Branches hooking on can rip most things with something to hook onto. Cost me some money

If you keep the Lynch pin on a tether and loose the long shaft for the bucket you are out some money. Lost one shaft and discovered one half way out before loosing the second one.

I fully expect to start harvesting lynch pins any day. Sure have lost enough of them these past years and they have to be n the property.
