Description
Overview:
This bucket link is a steel connector for the working end of a mini excavator, supplied complete with Position 10 and 11 bushes for a ready-to-fit repair. It links the bucket to the dipper arm linkage and maintains correct geometry under load. Designed for Kubota compact diggers, it suits KX36-3 and KX36 models where the specified geometry and hole sizes match. Typical dimensions are 250 mm length, 125 mm width, and a 30 mm bearing hole diameter for the pin interface. The robust, painted steel body resists abrasion and outdoor conditions, while the included bushes help restore smooth movement at the pivot points. Manufacturer reference often used for this item: MPN 996 114.
