I have an older grey market B1200. I broke the right front rim. The tire size is 5.00x12. It is a four bolt. There are no markings on the rim. Where can I get a rim and what is the actual designation for this rim? Are there alternatives I can use?

No, there is NOT another option for a direct replacement.
Unless you go my route............either way you'll be buying a new tire.
But you can spend 20 to 30 hours searching (I have) to prove me wrong.
Yea, they look fantastic. If I needed rims, there is no doubt the route I would take.Dawg goneit Murphy,, I do wish you would post a warning so I can put my sunglasses on when you post pics of that beast
Pimping out the Kubota.

Here's the deal-
I suppose the OP asked around locally already about a used or new wheel, otherwise he would not be asking world wide where he could find one. The 12" 4 lug is no longer supported by Kubota,
He may find a 3.5" or 4" X 12" wheel but it will be a spoked trailer wheel and it will be 4on4, Kubota 4 lug is 4 on 103mm. The 4 on 4 will not work with standard lug nuts, nor will it mount to the Kubota hub without a 3/16" or 1/4" adapter plate (of which I never mentioned),
He cannot mount a 5" tire to a 5" wheel and further I'll bet his current tire is NOT OK.
His other wheel is probably NOT OK either, if one broke, you can assume the condition of the other.
You got a problem, now you need to come up with a solution. Most folks are spoiled, they think everything should just be handed to them........and cheap........or free.
You have a 20 to 30 year old tractor that is barely supported by the manufacture.
If you want to fix your problem you'll likely be buying new tires too.

BTW, I just love how OPs walk into a room and take a dump in the middle of the floor and just walk away.
Yes, basically it just fills in the contour around the center of the wheel, allowing the recesses to lay flat against the hub.
