kubota l260 advise

[214sewell]

I own a kubota l260 according to the kubota dealer its considered a grey market tractor and they are not that helpful. It runs good after having injector pump rebuilt, no current problems. My concern is future parts, should i keep this good running tractor or sell and buy something where parts are easier to come by?

I have an L2202, it's a grey market, too. so ugly it wouldn't bring anything on the auction market. Use the piss out of it, and keep your eyes open for another, better kuboter. I picked up an l-185 last fall, for $800, it was a basket case, with a blown freeze plug, but the experience I gained working on the junker, I was able to get it running, and have a decent looking tractor, now.

As far as parts go, I haven't needed many, for either tractor. Unless something big breaks or wears out, kuboters are tough, and if you think about it, lots of times you can make what you need.

Only some of the L260 were gray market.
Give us the Serial # and I might be able to tell you if it's gray or not.

Serial # location: Right side of tractor frame, to the rear of the brake pedals.

Note: If things are written in English on it most likely it's not a grey!

North Idaho Wolfman the serial number location had some scratches but it looks like L210-15377 or L240-15377. thanks for the help

Sorry it is a grey model, not to worry just buy your parts form Coleman Equipment, and you can get the part #'s you need from Kubota.com, look under L260P.
