How Do You Break a 3 Point Lift Arm???

A Kubota BX23S owner documents how a cracked three-point lift arm went unnoticed until it interfered with PTO engagement, then walks through the full replacement himself. He covers diagnosing the symptom, sourcing the part at his dealer, the spline-shaft removal trick, applying anti-seize, snap-ring reinstallation, and linkage adjustment, plus why aggressive mowing on rough terrain likely caused the failure. Most useful for BX23S owners facing the same crack.

An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing a real repair on their own machine, so expect candid first-person experience with no particular sales angle.
