Front quick hitch on F Series

[steuny]

Anybody have an idea why the F5212 has a spot for two bolts on each side while I have one that has one big hole on each side. This hitch will be obsolete as per my previous post.

Someone’s idea of adjustability? Not enough meat to keep those holes from turning into a slot if used to any real extent.

1st one ,hole is dead center, 2nd, holes are offset of center.
That allows for some 'adjustment'..maybe the part is used on different models ?

I had to look rather deeply at this oddities kept coming up.
The GF's are Canada only, The US does not sell them so support is very limited.
The GF just has different mounts on the arms than the other models.
They use a one bolt mount, not 2 bolt mount.

That shoe just uses 2 bolts.
It's not an adjustability thing.

Are you trying to adapt this to the GF arms with only one hole on the arms?

Contact a Canadian Kubota dealer and see what mount they are using now.
If it's a mount with 2 bolt holes, then the arms on the GF have changed.

You can either alter your arms to fit the new 2 bolt pattern or you can alster the shoe to fit a single bolt pattern.

Appreciate your reply. Both pictured are for the F series. I had a GF but recently moved up to the bigger F2690. Hope that clears up your reference to the smaller GF1800. Both pictured are the same and meant to fot the F series but have different bolt patterns. ???

Any chance you can post the part numbers for both of them ?

 

[steuny]

As far as I know the part number is F-5212. Don’t think there is a different number for the one bolt version. That’s a model number I guess.

F5212 comes up as the 2 holer unit at Messisks....

Just found out that the one hole version is F5211 for the F60 series. Thanks for all the replies.
