    An Aussie needs some American Help!

    Update on hard to track down tie rods in Oz. I managed to find a supplier in Australia with the parts - they are the sister/brother company to Worthington AG Parts in the US - Neil's Parts - excellent service and a very reasonable price - if any other Aussies find this thread, hopefully this...

    An Aussie needs some American Help!

    Thanks everyone for the advice - if it was my tractor (and not my sick neighbors) I might try to fix it up and make do until I really needed to replace. The Australian phrase for this is 'Ahh She'll be right, mate'. Since I am actually English an expat I have learnt that this translates to 'I...

    I think I have found out who has re-engineered it in Australia and they are being super helpful to try to track down the parts for me. Also a guy in New Zealand can get the parts for $880 aussie + shipping - significantly better than Kubota directly, but I understand that. Definitely a L2850 -...

    An Aussie needs some American Help!

    Thanks Mickeyd - notch up another reply for me. Just found out who supplied the Tractor - they were very sketchy on the phone about whether they had sold it or not - it is re-engineered with modifications, hence the L1-275DT decal. They also don't know if they can get the tie rods - surely they...

    An Aussie needs some American Help!

    G'Day All. I have used this forum as a non member and it has massively helped me fix a hopeless tractor - but now I am stumped! To save you reading my whole post I am looking to identify the tractor I am using and need to source complete tie rod assemblies for it (I think it is a L2850DT) if...
