I cannot help with the right rear as I do not have a backhoe and have plenty of room back there. However, the front links are held in with a pin that has a washer and cotter pin towards the middle of the tractor. Also, make sure to get the spacer bushings for the rear before reinstalling your...

If anyone else has this happen, you will also need to purchase two K5763-51282 bushings that go inside the eyelet up front. I tried beating the hell out of them, but mine wouldn't come out.

Thanks all!

Unfortunately, I do not have a good answer for that. However, in the ~5 years that I have used the tractor for mowing, I have never used them. For reference, they are roughly 4-5" inside of the rear links on the LX2610. Possibly to pin up the deck if needed?

The left side of the linkage is connected properly. The right (near) side linkage snapped where it connects to the pin in the front. The eyelet is actually still around the pin above it, but the bar itself snapped. Guessing it may have been a bad weld, but want to make sure Im not missing anything.

Came across this when I was cleaning the deck this morning. Anyone know what could have caused a rear link to snap? I didn't hit anything with the deck and have already ordered a replacement part, but would like to prevent it from happening again.

I recall when I purchased my LX2610 in 2020 that they informed me that KTAC was only valid until the loan was paid off. Not saying that I agree with the policy, but my dealer at least made me aware of it.

Did you try tapping the relay with the handle of a screwdriver a few times?

I agree that the tread cut appears to be minor and not something that will ultimately compromise your tire. If it bothers you, clean out the sliced area and apply an adhesive you feel will do the job. In the event that it fails down the road, shrug it off and continue to tractor on.

I installed the Kubota 3rd function kit on my LX2610. The most difficult part was installing the new connections in the rear without removing a bunch of parts. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/oem-kubota-3rd-function-kit-install.48785/

On level ground, I would just suck out some of the fluid until you see a small area at the top of the sight glass without fluid. While your there, make sure that the hole at the end of the vent tube doesn't have any crud buildup in it. After that, you should be good to go.

I recall those being mentioned as workarounds when I was looking into it years ago.

I had one of the Range units on my 2015 Silverado with the 5.3. It worked well, but it would kill the battery if the truck sat for a few days. Unsure if that is still an issue or not.

Surpluscenter.com is another option that I have used in the past for replacement hydraulic parts.

Congrats on the new machine! In addition to having the rear tires filled, skip wheel weights and purchase a three point hitch ballast box then get the weight (including the box) to ~700-750lbs. That should make any future grapple or loader work far less sketchy.
