    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Removed the water pump yesterday, cleaned off the gasket from the mating surface - ready for replacement next weekend. Noticed that the coolant overflow container had gone chalky, so called at local dealer for a replacement but told "I cannot sell you a part for your tractor." I left with a few...

    L2200 Anyone familiar and have any info to share?

    Guaranteed to be an import, as Kubota do not manufacture in Aus. If you mean a "Grey" import, that's a whole other house of cards. First question would be where it was bought from. If a Kubota dealer, it will be almost certainly, a legitimate official import. If not, then likely to be a grey...

    der carl, Mate, if I could find a manual in Japanese, I can get it translated - have access to a native speaker with some technical knowledge.

    Gray Market parts in Australia?

    Bill is the guru for grey market stuff in and around Sydney. I bought from him some time ago now, still going strong! Well worth a visit. I just wish there was a manual for my machine.

    Strangely, the manual SSB sent me was the same (non L2002DT) manual that I got from the dealer who imports and sells the tractors here. The dealer also gave me a photocopy of the Japanese parts manual, a huge pile of paper with questionble reproduction and the kanji is next to unreadable. The...

    Hey, Vic ... Thanks for the speedy response. It's great that people are willing to share info for the benefit of the whole market. I'm getting a new slasher (the old one has rusted through the deck, and the front bearing of the gearbox has collapsed) so might use the lower speed to drive the...
