Looking for a parts manual to identify the part number of the coupler disk that goes between the tractor side and blower side of the PTO drive, just before the gearbox on the snowblower.

Any ideas?

Do you have the Operators Manual?

These images are from the manual which is available for free on:

Kubotabooks.com

forum G2500 1 blower.jpg

forum B2500 blower.jpg


Unfortunately the manual does not include part numbers.

Please confirm I have identified the part you are looking for.

I think you will find most parts are NLA for no longer available.

I do have the operator manual... but as you note, no part number.

I need number 13.
Do you have remnants of #13?

Look at this steering shaft flex coupling.

Consider making your own by cutting a piece of rubber from a truck tire side wall.

Rubber cuts much easier with a knife if the tire is wet.

That’s an interesting idea, I may have to try that.
I do have the remnants of the part, it’s actually made of what appears to be fibreglass or something, about 1/16” thick.

The L35 uses a similar coupling (actually 2 of them) driving the front pump. Messick's.com has a picture with a scale so you could compare the size with yours. $19 ea. The parts diagram shows sets of 2 but I don't remember seeing 2 on my L35. They are fiberglass. I was going to try the tire trick if I needed to.

Kubota has an online parts catalog in USA. I assume you’re able to get something similar in Canada or access the US site.

I think Messicks has the same illustrated parts list also

Kubota.ca has a parts list for various versions of the T4200 but nothing on the blower.

I could also not find the blower on Messicks.

There is a blower shop manual and parts list on ebay.com for $90

As Dave said, online parts catalogues do not seem to be readily available for this particular blower. It seems to be a bit of an anomaly in the system.
$90 on eBay? Good grief... That's nearly $2 per part!!

Thank you! I'll check that out - that's what the local dealer is hoping to do too - find a similar part on another unit.

Somehow I always manage to buy things with NLA parts. 🤦🏻‍♂️

By my guesstimate, 6mm diam on 45mm centers:

Well, we think we found a part that will work, it is used elsewhere on the G4200 tractor. PN H6601-13510. (Supersedes 66031-13510)
$82 CAD.
ouch.
