Lost top link holder on L3400

[canoetrpr]

That is the last time I say "I'll do it later" when I see a loose bolt someplace.

I lost the top link holder under the slow moving vehicle sign that holds the top link up when it is not in use. I don't use the top link when I am using my chain harrow for example.

The Kubota dealer that I have been getting parts from can't find it anywhere in a parts book so he can't order it. Maybe I'm the first idiot to have lost his.

Not a huge deal right now as I don't have a hydraulic top link so I just take the top link off. When I do have a hydraulic top link I'd rather not undo the hoses just because I am not using the TL.

Any ideas anyone?

You might give these folks a call, they seem to have a lot of Kubota parts
Used salvaged tractor parts including John Deere, Ford, Kubota and other Japanese tractor part dealers
I know just what you mean by do it later... I have tried to give that up myself, Kennyv

find some 3/16 rod and bend one up yourself. gotta be cheaper than going through the dealer. heck i bet some baling wire would hold it up just fine.

I broke the top link holder on my 3130 the first month I owned it. Call the dealer and he put one in the mail to me that same day. So they are available. Steve

I lost mine a while back. A coat hanger works fine.

Thanks!

Dealer finally located one and ordered it in for me. Price was substantially higher than tractorsmart (about 20 bucks!). Nice to know about tractorsmart.

MJFOX thanks! I need to get better looking for parts in the manual. Was looking under the SMV sign!
