Kubota Oem parts made in China

[luto]

Hello all,
My alternator/Dynamo went on me so I proceede to fix it.
I went to Kubota dealer and I purchsed Dynamo bearings in
Kubota sealed bag that said made in China.
Is this normal for Oem kubota parts?

Japan is being hurt at least as much as the US from Chinese production...

I just bought a new oil filter from the dealer which said made in china, but the new hydrolic filter said made in japan

The Chinese can and do make good products, as well as less than desirable. So can the Japanese. As long as Kubota warranties the part, I wouldn't be too scared to put it on my tractor.

Take a walk through the Harley Boutique and see where a lot of HD stuff comes from And then ask if HD shouldn't all be American made? Every manufacturer will go where they pay the least and they can make the largest profit margin after all they have stock holders they have to keep happy, no matter that food is being taken out of the working man/woman's mouth. It's all about the green!

I've always wanted to know if you live in China what do their labels say....

Even SKF and Timken are made in China.


Bearings can be measured and matched and purchased elsewhere.



I believe that National is still made in Amerika.

With bearings, you can take the bearing number from the old one and buy it outside of Kubota for a fraction of the Kubota price. You can also, by shopping around, get the bearing number you need that is produced in Japan, USA, Germany.
I need 6 new bearings for my three point mower deck. I got the bearing number, 6205, and found them on ebay AND they were Japanese NTN bearings. I bought bulk and they were CHEAP! I bought extras as a mower spindle will always need new bearings in the future.
