So looking for the HST cooling fan for a G2160. Mine has a missing blade, and there seems to be some confusion as to what to buy. So if anyone is parting out a G2160 and has an intact HST cooling fan please let me know
All I know is if you try to apply logic to Kubota's parts pricing, you'll go insane . Some parts are extremely high, some are competitive, and occasionally you'll find one that seems cheap. Welcome to Kubotaville! Actually, they're not much different from other equipment manufacturers.What confused me from that thread. He originally reported his machine called for the same part number as mine and then found it was superseded by another one (the one he noted in the thread). I had ordered a new one from Kubota of Omaha last year and when I finally got around to installing it this year I see it is substantially different (though fits just fine) than my original. Also all the other fans are only like $7. WTH is so special about my part number that makes it close to 10X more $$$? That is really insane.
It's probably because your model fan was a limited run and not many models use it.What confused me from that thread.
