Why Don't ALL Tractors Come Standard with This?

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.

That is a wonderful addition. Mine was stock on my Ford 8N 😊

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Nice little addition, thanks for sharing.

[davesrepaircom]

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 Kubota MX5800, and it didn't have a storage spot for them, but it will now! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, and God bless

[brucepooley]

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.

This is why I watch YouTube. I have learned so much on YouTube. Thanks for the video. I just subscribed.

[MJADoingStuff]

Now that is a GREAT!!! idea. Thanks for sharing Lucas😁👍🚜💨🐓

[dysfunctional_vet]

great idea! i already ran into this problem and place them in the holes on the bucket arms or other spots. i also placed a double swivel hook on the arm flange so that i can shorten a chain or hook a chain missing a hook

You are my hero!! A huge headache will now be gone and I can save money on aspirin.

A grinder and paint,
Makes me the welder I ain't!🙂

[BadJuJuAdventures]

Very cool…..I keep mine on the implement…..but as soon as I get two I will do that…..lol. Just starting out homesteading….
