Hi sthoms - if you are asking about the u-bolts, I’ve sourced them thru McMaster-Carr.

Really good comparison results. Thank you for posting!

Thanks very much. The technology available today is pretty cool indeed. It makes design tasks easier. It’s like Christmas every morning when you see a new part waiting on the machine that only existed as an idea the day before!

Thanks for the interest Flip. I’ll post info upcoming for the brackets. Many prototypes are underway to fit a variety of options. (Note: The 3D-parts were created only for my personal Kubota needs, as I needed angle adjustability for backhoe purposes.) The aluminum CNC bracket system is the...

Thanks Tornado. I’m considering your suggestion for orders. It appears this method fits a need beyond my own simple attempt.. Several members have expressed interest. Stay tuned’ bruther. I’ll research this to another level. Very much appreciate the feedback.

Actually the thickness isn’t a problem at about .188” thick. I’m not aware of molded ‘factory’ mats being available for the L’s stamped platform, so my solution was to precisely fit a flat shape. The rubber doesn’t curl or slide and no clips are required. Just a humble attempt and a simple...

Thanks. I used measurements and old school protractors and curves. Then translated into my CAD program at full scale. It took several cardboard templates to fine tune. The hole pattern was challenging to match. They work very well and stay in place.

These were printed on professional SLA machines from a tough liquid resin compound. They ‘grow’ from a tray using lasers to solidify the resin into physical parts. Then post cured with heat and UV light. Very strong and functional for outdoor use. Rubber grommets and flexible pieces also are...

These 3D-printed parts were made on Formlabs SLA machines. So printing with professional engineering materials makes them totally functional. The material is a tough liquid resin compound and 3D-parts are grown from the tray with a laser. They get post cured with heat and UV light for...

I spray a very thin coat of fluid film on the aluminum brackets and U-bolts without any problem of corrosion. Been using this bracket system on other tractors and equipment for several years. Never any problems. The u-bolts are stainless. Yes, a bit more expensive for material costs, but...

The prints ran overnight on my office machines. Probably 5-6 hrs. Then some post-processing during prototype assembly. Attached are some more pics of the adjustable LED adapters and switch box.

Hi - I chose the ribbed pattern for grip. Also wanted a rubber rated for outdoor use and NE Ohio temperature changes. If I remember correctly, this style fit the criteria. Not too thick.

Hi all - I developed a custom bracket system for LED lights and roll bars on my other tractors out of necessity, and recently added to my L2501 earlier this year. I wanted ROPS illumination for early mornings & evenings in the woods. The mounting plates are a universal plate design adaptable...

Haven’t made one for the step, as it is fairly small in comparison. Not sure a rubber pad would be feasible there, although the paint does get scuffed.. I have considered producing more of these large ones at some point. Rubber is a bit challenging because of re-melting during laser process...

The machine is a 60-watt Epilog Helix CO2 Laser (made in USA) , and will cut everything but metal. The floormats themselves were laser cut from a ‘ribbed’ rubber sheet purchased from McMasterCarr. It took approx. 8 cardboard template trials to tweak the exact shape and fit. They interlock...

Hello all. My Kubota and I are relatively new to the forum, and I have enjoyed reading posts, etc. This Summer I was tired of watching the orange platform on my L2501 get scratched from my boots when climbing on and off. So I designed and cut real rubber floor mats with my 60-watt Laser...
