I have been trying to figure out which side link at a reasonable price will work for my tractor. The information I have is i needs, of course, CAT 1, then it says closed length of 17 5/16“ to 19 5/16”, tractor pin size 3/4” hole in ball joint that connects to the tractor, a 10” adjustment range and the fork ends have 1/2” holes. My question is since I am pretty green with this particular tractor, will the one I have found attached in the picture work even if I have to use some bushings? Advice needed! Thanks

I have one of those, from Weavers, on my John Deere. I did make a bushing for the top mount; the other end fit the lift arm without any adjustments. It's been on my tractor for years now, working great.
As long as the length works, the fitment issues can be worked out. It's worth the effort.

Well, I ordered one yesterday for my tractor. It’s not made specifically for the Kubota B2401 but the different measurements closed, opened, adjustable lengths are all very similar. The upper knuckle and lower forks are compatible but I will have to use brass bushings to get the correct size holes. It was much more expensive to order a specific one for my tractor and the one I ordered with the 2 brass bushings were less than half the cost of the other ones that were specifically made for the tractor I have. I believe it will work fine. I can weld but I will probably have my son in law weld the bushings in place so I don’t have to worry about any movement issues which is just more wear and tear on the bushings. I will post pictures when it’s installed.
