Is it normal on a Kubota to have space/play side-to-side between the top link and the quick hitch upper bracket? Don't think it would be an issue but wanted to know if that's normal. Thanks.

I used washers to equally fill the gap in both sides of the top link… others may not care, while others probably have the correct bushing to use and merely cut it to size to center it. I had the correct sized washers sitting on the shelf and problem (possibly only a perceived problem) resolved. Since the clientele here is broad ranging and absolutely great at coming up with solutions from simple to exquisite, you should also read and evaluate their two-bits and pick your forward path.

it doesnt hurt anything there is no side load on the top link if everything is adjusted correctly. it will self center as needed when movement and vibration of use is happening
