Diagnosis: stainless fitting and soft steel welds are creating galvanic corrosion- can't believe Kubota wouldn't have thought of this. As I noted we live on an island surrounded by salt water and the air is laden with salt all year round. Humidity levels are usually quite high as well.

I visited a buddy who has a 30 year old Woods backhoe. His welds and fittings are pristine- paint is faded but not a drop of rust or corrosion anywhere. Arrrgh!

I’ll try Messick’s see if they’re comfortable shipping glass. Appreciate your help.
