A 10 pack of zinc plated 7/16" lynch pins with retaining chains and cotter pins (to connect the chain to the implement) is $2.49 at Tractor Supply.
I store pins on each implement. Top link and lift pins as well, so I never have to worry about having the right pins when I back my BX up.
Every farm I've worked on leaves pins in the equipment because it's not always the same pin for all. And a few spares in the tractor tool box just in case someone misplaced them.
I do the same, then also keep a bag of them in the shop in case one gets misplaced.
I have a kubota b2710 and it came factory with the pin holders
3.19 for a bag of 10 now, and no chains with them 04.07.24
@@Seriouslydavegood idea, did I visit and help cause the RH draft arm pin has my fav cotter pin brand! Lol!
All the JDs and Kubotas at work (before I retired) had these only welded on the insides of the lift arms, but we didn't use them for the pins. Each tractor had a top link with D-handles that pretty much lived on that tractor. We removed the jamb nuts on the top link and once you had the top link adjusted to the length you needed, you ran a heavy duty bungee cord thru both handles to those loops on the arms. That way you didnt need to deal with loosening/tightening the jamb nuts to keep the link length from changing with vibration .
At my place I have a Kioti CK3510SE and it also has the pin holders. It's got a hydraulic top link, so I can use them for the pins instead of a bungee, lol.
I have a quick hitch so I don't need the pin holders but that bandsaw table attachment is fantastic! I was about to buy a bench vertical bandsaw but I have an old portable bandsaw sitting on a shelf doing nothing! Now it has a new purpose and using my bench vise as the mount means I can keep it tucked on a shelf out of the way when it's not in use.
Where can that portable table be purchased?
Very cool…..I keep mine on the implement…..but as soon as I get two I will do that…..lol. Just starting out homesteading….
JD 1025R. This tractor comes from the dealer with a little tool box mounted on the rear that can store tools and/or lynch pins, but your idea is much better and quicker access to the pins. And that band-saw vice setup is another great idea. Thanks for sharing.
They're also an overpriced lawnmower. You can get an lx2620 for close to the same cost.
BX2660 ….. great little machine.
You need to get Pat’s Quick Hitch for your BX. I’ve had Pat’s Quick Hitch on my tractor for many years. They work great and are a super addition to any tractor.
Same here with the Pat's Quick Hitch. And I also have a variety of 3-point attachments that uses different size pins so I continue to keep the right size pins on the attachment.
I like the ban saw mounted on vice. I mount tools (grinder, chainsaw sharpener, etc.) on a short 2x4 and put that in the vice. I like the pin holders. You have given me an excuse to finally buy a welder!
I also am a certified welder. I picked up a titanium 125 ez flux core welder for small jobs out side the shop. Plugs into 125 volt. Wasn't expecting much but was very surprised. All my big welders are 220 volt Miller and Hobart. This little guy let's you adjust feed and voltage and produces amazingly strong welds. The sledgehammer test proved it. Think I paid less than $200 at Harbor Freight and it now has a solid place next to my more outrageously priced welders in my shop. If you realize it has limitations you will find a lot of use for this little guy.
Nice! I have a harbor freight flux core welder that I have used for 15 years and it still works. I just finally got a 220v MiG so I don’t use it much now…
That is a wonderful addition. Mine was stock on my Ford 8N 😊
Yep, great idea, thanks! I keep a set dropped over our Kubota B2650's hydraulic fluid dipstick, and that works well.
Our 1939 Ford 9N actually has a set of these loops on its 3 point arms, from the factory. Really handy.
I have a BX 25. Up until today, I always used the cup holder to hold my pins. Looks like I’ve got a new place for my pins and my Gatorade!! Great job!
lol. That’s what I’m talking about! 👊
Yes that’s what I did
I'm amazed that the lynch pin holder isn't stock!
Ford included them way back on their '30s and 40's tractors. ( I used a 1939 model.)
They also had a chain between the wheel assembly and the tractor body (both rear wheels) so you could insert a flat deck support arms under them and over the arms bar (cantilevered). They'd carry such a load that sometimes you'd have to put counter weights from the front wheel arms to keep the tires on the ground.
So did International.
I've been around little Fords pretty much my whole life. Started haying on a 8N when I was 9 or 10 and have owned 9Ns to 801 series and I have no idea what you were explaining. I've been sitting here trying to figure it out.
It's been a while but I was sure my old 8N had those. My little JD 3025 has them. Can't believe the kubota didn't.
I have a Ford Tractor that came from the factory that has the Loop for storing the Lynch Pins, it is a 1985 Model. One thing you might think about is contacting the manufacturer (dealer) about the type of steel used in the Three point arms. It is probably alright but on special parts like that, sometimes they are high carbon steel and HEAT TREATED. If you weld something like that, it could screw up the Part. I doubt you will have any trouble, but it is a good thing to know exactly what you are welding if you can. You welded it with MIG so it is "low hydrogen" and that helps prevent cracking. If you weld the part, and it is high carbon steel, and you weld it with a mild steel electrode you could have some cracking. Just something to think about when welding a "PART". Also welding across the "grain" causes a "Notch Effect" and can cause a part to fail if it has a heavy work load. Another way a lot of people do to "store" the Lynch Pin is they put a lightweight and short chain on the Lynch Pin and connect it to the lifting links near the ball joints. One drawback to doing that is if you are in tall grass, brush or weeds, this might flip the lynch pin loose. On the Ford Tractor I have that has the "clips" for the lynch pins, the brush has flip mine out and lost the pin. If it is on a chain, at least you can find it. Either way, it is easier they going on a search for pins every time you hook up. Good Video!!! I liked!!
B2601 - my lynch pins all have 1/16” stainless aircraft cable lanyards to keep them at the implement - I bought a cheap cable crimping tool several years ago at a big box store to repair the cable on my trailer break away switch - very handy - use it more than I ever imagined! Every farm needs a cable crimper - it’s like a pop rivet gun - once you have it you use it a lot.
I do however like you lunch pin holder. It is an elegant solution! Great Video! I may weld a post with a small hole on my 3point to hold sping pins - hate losing the spring pin in the dirt when I adjust the sway bars.
That’s a good idea too! I will check out those crimpers. I bet they would be pretty handy!
I do the same with my spring clips. You can slide them off the cable loop, but I haven't had one fall off yet. Another mod is to epoxy a strong magnet somewhere and stick the spring clips to it. Just attach it in a protected area. Even if you don't leave the clips on it, it's handy while you've got them removed so you're not dropping them in the grass or gravel.
The Kubota BX comes with a little storage box on the left hand side where you can keep you pins in
enjoyed the video, another quick mod i did on my L2501 is a roof. Golfcart mods are popular today. i called a golfcart shop locally and asked about used canopies. they said come out take a look they throw them out back with the hardware on them. i picked up a two seater canopy and a single seat canopy for about 50 bucks. the dual seat one i put on my L2501 using 12" long c channel that was about 4-5 inches wide with two u bolts fits around the ROPS then placed the canopy on top and drilled some holes through the c channel into the canopy bracket, bolted it. put the canopy back on and there you have it. i used a two seater canopy on the L2501 and moved it back so it covers the backhoe seat as well since mine has the two seats instead of the one that rotates. total cost for a canopy around 60 bucks and about an hour of time. ( the other one i put on my Side By Side).
Great idea!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead and it was a one person job lol, and no drilling into the ROPS
I appreciated the tour of the tool bench: Good comments on the welders, 250 Amps is about perfect for our little farm, and I've been looking at Bauer power tools for a while. Thanks for sharing. I forgot to add that my Kubota is an L4600, my best buddy here on the ranch for the last 10+ years, and I keep the lynch pins in an ammo box I afixed in the spot where the worthless plastic tool box used to be, above the PTO.
Ok, I've had my Kubota B7500 for 24 years (2000 model year), and the 3-point arms do indeed have these exact structures on the outside of the arms from the factory... I didn't know what they were for and just used them to attach the check chains from my chipper/shredder when I had it... Thanks, I will now be using them regularly/properly now!!
I put Pat's Quick Hitch arm ends on my Mahindra. Easy hook up without the spacing problems of other quick hitches. You might have to get a little longer top link as they set the implement back a couple of inches.
I have a Kobuta L3710, and it has the storage loops on the lift arms . It's a great plus!
I have Kubota MX5800, and it didn't have a storage spot for them, but it will now! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, and God bless
2016 Massey Ferguson 1754 and it does not have a pin holder. I am always trying to find something to hang them on... This is a fantastic idea! My 1950 Ford 8n does have these, but I'm not sure if it was OEM or someone added them over the last 70+ years. Great, great idea share. It is on my list of things to do next time I fire up the welder.
This is why I watch RUclips. I have learned so much on RUclips. Thanks for the video. I just subscribed.
Me too! Thanks for subscribing! 👊
We have some ford's that have a place for them on the back of the tractor and i believe that our 3 Massey tractors do as well
Now that is a GREAT!!! idea. Thanks for sharing Lucas😁👍🚜💨🐓
Thanks, Mitch! I was excited about it! 👊
I’m a professional welder (Union pipefitter) and for just tacking something together ya did a great job ! I’ve used a number of different welding machines and for what you do they’ll all preform pretty much the same. I’m a Lincoln electric guy, and have several of them in my personal shop but what I do is much different, it HAS to be right for some of my side work. That said, I’d have no issues picking up a less expensive machine to put stuff together. A lot of machines I use are in the thousands and just not needed or justifiable in your applications. At the price I may pick one up and see what it’s about!
Thanks for taking it easy on me. lol. No doubt the high dollar machines are going to be more consistent and reliable. Like you said, just have to weigh the costs and determine if it is justified for your own uses.
Absolutely mine already has the San exact set up to store the hitch pins cause I did the very same thing to my B-7100 Kabota that you done to yours
When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, most of our tractors had this weather it was OE like on the Ford 2000 or modified like on some of the others like Massey Ferguson. Used them 99 percent of the time.
B7610 KubotaHSD has a similar set up on the lift arms. This is a compact rather than a subcompact which may be the difference. I initially stored the lynch pins in it, but they seemed to come up missing after driving through brush and/or heavy weeds, sometimes even getting pulled from the implement itself. I solved the problem by changing to using HD lynch pins from Tractor Supply with chains attached and using a chain repair link to attach the chain end to the fixture on the lift arms. Though I do carry a spare set in the toolbox under the seat, I haven't had a problem since.
True some are heat treated. I straightened an arm that easily bent after welding like this on a new Kubota that belonged to a buddy of mine. Bent it back to where it should be with the outrigger on a JD 410e and arm lying on the ground. Bent very easily where the weld was.
Good welding, man. I've done a couple that fell apart when I took the clamps off. So, My Kubota b7100 built in the 1980s has these pieces already on it. That's progress. The welding job I had was an ancient 15 foot batwing mower. The hinge for the left hand wing was broken loose at the back. I had a little tiny welder ( too small for the job) ; I put a bunch of eagle poo where the weld was supposed to be. Five days of mowing later, I heard a funny noise and looked over my shoulder, The left wing was climbing over the center deck trying to mow the gearbox off. That was the end of my season, aggravating that day, but every time I call it to memory, I laugh at the sight of it.
😂🤷🏼♂️. Hey man, you try to get by with what you have. No shame in that.
Great video! I have a B2320 it has the linchpin holders I also bolted a magnet on the pto guard so you can put pins or whatever on it while changing Implements so they don't vibrate off.
Awesome idea!
Since I have implements that use several different sizes of lynch pins I clip them on the implement, ready for the next time. An on-board tool box holds some extra lynch pins, avoiding the expense of something like a welder that I would only seldom use.
Every tractor should come with a place to store pins like that! It would also be nice if they had a place to store a top link pin too.
Damned right! I have a 1959 Renault R16 tractor and...it is there, on both arms. It is so handy and saves a lot of frustration. Thanks for a good informative vid.
More really good info Lucas. I have never used my 3 point hitch. I bought it from my neighbour. I am still working up the courage to take the back-hoe off of the BX23S and put a brush hog on. One of these days I will do it. Take care and stay safe.
You can do it! I’ve got a few videos with tips on the whole process. If you try it and have any issues, my email address is in the about section. Send me a message and we will help you get it figured out. 👊
Lucas: thank you. I will keep it in mind. @@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead
I have a Mahindra Max 26 HST (Hydrostatic Transmission). I too use these pins to hold items on the 3 point adaptor, this is a great idea. As soon as I get my welder from the shop out to the house, where my Tractor is, I'll do the same modification. I have a 120/240 VAC generator that works well for outdoor use of the welder. I find using the Flux Core wire the easiest to use with steel, though my Miller 180 Welder normally uses CO2/Argon gas for steel and Argon gas for Aluminum welding. All I have to do is change the wire and settings for welding either. The nice thing about this welder (wire) is it has great penetration on high heat settings, up to 1/2" material welds just fine. I also can use the settings for spot welding. That works well for sheet metal to steel applications.
As a side note, I have a 6' x 8' trailer that I used chain links welded around the frame similar to this application. I use them for hook type tie down straps and since the 1/2 chain links are welded to the frame they are a great addition to my trailer. To hold the side walls I also welded 4" pipes around the perimeter of the trailer and use 3/4" pipes that fit inside those pipes I welded on the sides to hold my side walls to keep loads inside. I used plumbing pipe so I can remove the ring nuts below the welded pipe that hold them in place to change the trailer from a flat bed to a trailer with 30" high sides..., I welded 5/16" nuts on the vertical pipe so it doesn't slip through the ones welded on the trailer. I used 2x6 wood horizontal sides and 2x4's for vertical support on corners and several mid side locations. Of course they are all painted ( oil based black) to hold up to wear/tear/weather. I attached the side walls wood together with 3" star head deck screws. The Trailer bed has 2 of the 4'x6' 3/4" thick pads made from old tires ( screwed to the floor with 1 1/4" fender washers using 2" deck screws into (2x8's below the rubber pad). Tractor Supply carries those rubber pads. Too bad I can't post pictures, it would be easier to understand with pics.
On another issue, those of you with smaller Kubota tractors (mini's). I found an interesting item for the bucket to make it a bit bigger. I will have to make the item out of 1/4" plate for my Mahindra bucket but if you're interested in moving more dirt/rocks per load check it out. www.bxpanded.com/BX-bucket-xpander
I am not affiliated with or make any referral $ from this, just thought it was a worthwhile idea to pass along.
Just got my new L2502 a couple of months ago and it has a spot on each lift arm for the pins.
This is excellent. I have a New Holland TC30, and it does NOT have this. This would have been awesome, however, I've switched to the quick attach, so this is no longer necessary and changeover is much easier, but this is a cool idea!!
I have the Yes welder, it’s a great product for the money, I welded at work for years. Love your vids I have the same Kubota as you have and I love the Tractor. Thank you Lucas
I have been very pleased with it. I’m no pro as I’m sure you can tell, but I’ve not had any welds fail yet and it is very simple to use. 👊
I've got a Massey GC1725 - no clips. That's a great idea for anyone using straight 3 point arms. I'm new to this and I'm old, and got tired of wrestling with the 3 point hitch so I got a Pat's Easy Hitch. Makes changing implements quick and easy, yet fits EVERYTHING (in my class) and no need for lynch pins.
Looked like good welding to me Lucas. I carry linchpins in my tool box, but with the QH15 Quick Hitch, I don't typically need them. 👍
Thanks, Chris!
We have a 1952 Ferguson TED 20, these clips were original way back then. And yes they are fantastic.
The Kioti Ck3510 has linch pin holders on each hitch arm. Great video. Thanks.
A grinder and paint,
Makes me the welder I ain't!🙂
Put a quick hitch on my Massie the day i got it, never used my 3point old school, got to love these quick hitch . and to speed things up even more replaced the top link with the mid sized harbor fright ratchet load binder, cut the handle off about 6" to clear the PTO shaft and cut the ring and hook off the binder, the top link pins fit the binder perfectly, just used a few large washers to shim up the side to side slop, no wrinch need to adjust the top link All for 50$ including red paint.
Thats what those are for 😂😂😂 my L2501 has those and i use them for my bungie cords when I don’t have an attachment on… i keep pins in all my attachments….
I don’t have a tractor quite yet. We do have a date scheduled to close the sale of our first business at the end of October. I’m lining up to get an L3902 and a mess of attachments to go with it. So hopefully, if all goes according to plan, I will be able to join the Kubota owners club by the end of November just in time for my birthday. That will be the best birthday present I will probably ever get! I can’t wait to finally get to be able to start some meaningful work around the land that we just purchased.
Ah, that’s exciting! The L3902 will be an awesome tractor!
My Kioti DK45 came with these for the lynch pins, but on the inside of the lift arms which is even more out of the way. Also, my Kioti was less expensive than a Kubota and is one stout tractor which has served me well for over 3,000 hours.
I've got a Kubota B series and have the hooks on the side...but I never knew they were for pins. I use them for spreading the arms apart when backing up to an implement. I stick a U-shape bent rebar that has washers welded about 1/2" away from the ends in the hooks and that keeps the arms from coming back together. I also have quick hitch adapters on the arms.
My Bobcat CT225 does not and I put a tool can behind the seat where I keep a couple tools and pins. When I swap an implement I toss them in there, but this looks even more simple! I’ll do it next time I’m looking for a few minutes to kill.
I have a Kubota B2920 and it does not have those pin loops but I bet it will! Great idea! Thank you.
Dude that is a great idea. Simple easy (if you already have the tools). I will be adding that to my B2601 this weekend. Good tip.
Right on! 👊
You are my hero!! A huge headache will now be gone and I can save money on aspirin.
Good idea, but I do not weld. SO I took an eye bolt of the proper size and replaced a fender bolt with it. Works Fantastic!
What is the best idea I ever heard I love.
I also have a BX1880 and it's a sweet little toy to have around the house.
Thanks! Love my BX too. 👊
Great idea, thank you for sharing. I have a Kubota L2350 inherited from my father-in-law to work his farm. I plan to put a set of those on my three point hitch arms also.
JD 4310 EHydro 4x4 Compact Utility - I bought a strong magnet with a hook that faces up that is firmly magnetically attached to the Roll Over Protection System and I generally have spares hooked and magnetically stuck up there.
I like the video though.
Nice! So simple. I'm going to do this to my b2601 and my JD430
My old Belarus has the u bolt, but l also used a short piece of scrap dog chain, one link of the dog chain fed through the linch pin loop and the other end fed through the head of a cotter pin, so it stays tethered to lift arm. So simple, especially when you've lost one before.
Nice! I like the idea!
My Ford 1720 came with one on each 3pt arm.
They use to. Mine has two factory ones on my Ford Jubilee.
You could hang them on the Rops hinge pins or just use shaft lock pins that won’t come off.
My early 80s JD has holders but my new Kioti NS5310 does not. Nice having them available right there where you need them without having to dig through a tool box. Great idea!!! Thanks for sharing!
I think lots of older tractors must have them. I’m not sure why they stopped adding them. Seems like a no brainer.
I have a Kubota B7510 and yes, it has linch pin holders.
When not using my 3 point I keep a drawbar on it. When not using my implement I used pvc pipe with copper caps over the impment ends packed with grease as mine are outside
The same thing works great on the front end loader too
Nice little addition, thanks for sharing.
My Deere came with those installed on the 3pt and a pair on the loader as well.
I have a 2005 b7800 30 hp. 4cyl. And yes mine came with pin holders
It's the little things that mean so much. Great video thumbs up.
Thanks!
My L Series has a grey Toolbox I store the pins in. No wielding required.
My 2018 JD025r gen II does not have that loop on the 3 point. But I do have a tool box mounted on the front of the tractor and it had extra pins in there! The tool box came on the tractor like that.🚜
My 1977 3600 Ford tractor has them on the arms, it looks like a small steel strap, about the same location where you welded on your Kubota.
Thanks for he video,,,
I have a Kubota 2901. It has a small carrier box right behnd the seat that I store pins and bolts. Nice video.
I have 4 B series Kubotas, all have lynch pin loops. I’ve had a couple Yanmar, they too had them.
Great idea. I have a L3130 doesn’t have these but will soon. Thanks
2240 John Deere, yes it has a place for extra lynch pins.
Watching this is like watching paint dry.
1995 Long 2460 tractor that has them on the arms. I love them.
Nice!
I don't know about the newer BXs, but my 2001 has tabs on the back to hook the top of the lift links and make the three point arms stationary, works for lynch pin holders.
When I was on the farm, we had an 8N and an old massey. Neither one had a place to store linch pins. I kept a few extras hanging on a strap.
I have a 2015 kubota L3301. I keep my pins in a add on toolbox that I bought and added to it.
Great idea Lucas. I’ll be adding this to my BX23s as well. Another great video!👍🏻
Awesome! Thanks for watching! 👊
My Kubota B3030 has them installed. They are very handy
Branson 2400 (now TYM) and yes I got them and love them
I would recommend the QH05 Quick hitch. I have one and I love it. All moving parts are exposed in case of a broken spring or pin. I own a BX2380 Thanks for the Video's . As far as the lynch pin Keeper. Good Idea! My pins seem to have legs.
I’ve been kicking around getting a quick hitch. Thanks for the advice.
Both of my Ford's (1520 and 1700) have them. 1520 has 4 spots on the arms. And Dad's Cub Cadet 7532 has them.
Great idea though. Will have to remember it if I get a tractor without them.
I have a BX24 Kubota and it came from the factory pin loops on it already.
My IH 424 has the pin holders. Not as durable as yours but they are there. Great idea. Thanks.
If I remember correctly the early FORD tractors linchpin holder was dual used also for storage and stabilizer bars
I mounted a 50cal ammo can on to my Kubota to replace that little cheap plastic box that came with it. I like that chain link idea on the lower 3 point arm.
I have a BX23S mine doesn't have this, but it will this weekend!
I have a Kubota B2650. I keep my extra pins in the tool box that came with the tractor.
I have a 2000 kubota L3010. And it does have the pin holders. PLus, it has 1 hole in the top of the fender that I use to hold the pins too. I'm not sure that these holes are for that purpose, but I use them.
My old David brown 950A tractor came from the factory with these on the arms back in the 50s
I like watching these videos. Cause I sit back and snicker at people making all these Mods to their 2 premium brand tractors. When you'll find that, most of the stuff is standard equipment in the less common brands. Linchpin holders are even standard equipment on a Ford 8 N tractor.
All of my Deere tractors have a place to hang the lynch pins...
😂 you call Kubota 'premium'?
My 1966 ford 3000 has them as well
I love my Kubota!
I love old tractors too, but it's interesting the comments my 8N owning neighbour has for my Kubota and it's many quick attachments. None of them are negative. He's most amazed at the hill terrain I can cover because of the much lower profile. The front end hydraulics for the grapple and post hole auger and the quick attach backhoe are generally not something you can easily add to a Ford 8N.
My L3901 doesn't have them. I need to add them. What a great idea.
Kioti LK3504, no pin holders currently but I'll have some soon... Thanks for the awesome tip! 👍
Thanks!
Love that band saw set up! Thanks for all the great info!!!
Yeah, man, we love the saw!
