Was checking tractor yesterday and seems I tore one of the inner boots. Does anyone know of where to get a replacement boot only. Looks like Kubota only sells them with the inner tie rod.

This was posted some time ago and applies specifically to the bx24 but may also apply to yours.
" These boots are exposed, and rip easily if you drive thru bushes or sticks. If you ask kubota for a new boot, the only part number that can find is the whole tie-rod end ($46 just to get the little rubber boot). The boot as in the last pic (Kubota part K1253-01660) costs about $11.34 at your dealer, is exactly the same as the original but it's NOT LISTED in the BX parts list. You have to ASK specifically for part# K1253-01660. Even in 2014, Kubota dealers don't know this because it's not in the BX list. Because everything is on the computer, there's no place for the dealer to write a note for the next customer. oldtommyboy found found this and posted it in 2014. It's like an archeological dig. "
