B5000 3 Point Hitch Brackets

[Dancam]

I'm posting these pictures in hopes that I can get some assistance in figuring out what is needed to convert the existing 2 point setup to a proper 3 point. For now all I need to do is attach a small (4') blade to move some snow, but I hope to convert a 42" snowblower off of a garden tractor to use behind the B5000. Any pictures showing the back end of a B5000 with a 3 point would be appreciated.

You are looking for something like this:

yenibiz (http://en.yenibiz.com/achat/produit_details.php?id=819&catalogue=2&language=en&ref=Connexion+directe&fs=/bsgvtpjygewewbn)

It is a 3ph (3 point hitch). I have also bought one for my B1-15. But I don't know if the B5000 has the holes below the PTO at the gear box to get the 3ph fixed. So maybe you need something like the plates shown in the ad.

Good luck

The back end of my 7001 looks the same as yours. I ordered the 3-point conversion from Service Dept Vic. That works very well, and I didn't have to remove the rototiller brackets.

Dancam, the B5000, which is what you have (based on the small stub size of the PTO shaft) is a little unique when it comes to upgrading to a correct Category '0" three point hitch.

The curved lower brackets showing in the photo Cabu has attached from Yenibiz do not fit the B-5000, but something like them is absolutley required to allow the lower 16" steel rod that supports the three point hitch arms closest to the tractor.

In upgrading several B-5000's, I have found that short of fabricating something similar to the curved brackets, the correct Kubota trailer hitch for a B-6000 can be utilized, and will with very minor modification, bolt right up.

The mods include re-drilling one hole on the lower mounting plate, and cutting down the deck with a chop saw to gain some clearance near the PTO stub. Other than that it's a direct bolt up and will give you the missing lower pivot point necessary for the three point arms to mount to.

The "two point hitch" attachement stubs currently located on either side of the PTO stub shaft can be retained for mounting the B-5000's factory RS-1000 2 point tiller.

Once you have converted your tractor over to a three point it will be necessary to then remove the lower three point arms and the left and right lift arms in order to mount up the OE two point tiller, as it cannot be made to attach in a three point fashion.

The Kubota B-6000 lower hitch mounting plate is part# 66204-65606.

Once modified and installed with the correct upper top link bracket, a correctly sized category zero three point hitch kit can then, and only then, be installed on your B-5000.

A PTO stub adapter is then be utilized to upsize the current smaller sized 6 spline stub to the correct six spline SAE stub shaft completing the upgrade, making your B-5000 compatible with all three point hitch implements.
