I have a L2200 I'm really needing to find out what US Kubota it is compatible with . I need to figure out what oil filter to use and which model(s) I can find most my parts on . I'm thinking L275 or 285?
L2200 compatible with ?

While the manual might be good, the part #'s will not.
They used a different part # system.
Part #'s for Kubota parts are formatted as 12345-12345
Part #'s in that book are formatted as 12345-1234-1 , and it's not as simple as just dropping the last dash.

http://m.ebay.com/itm/Kubota-L2200-Tractor-Parts-Manual-/321616682379 I left the link . So the book will do me no good ? How am I ever supposed to find parts then? No one seems to know the U.S. Equivalent to my tractor ...

I have one of those parts manuals that covers the l1501, 1801, and 2201. All three models share some of the same parts. The only thing the manual comes in handy for is if one of the models listed does have a known equivalent. Then you can compare between the parts manuals for the shared parts. But it's almost surely gonna be a photo copy, and probably a crappy one at that, so buyer beware. And I wouldn't pay much for it

I spoke with the seller on the phone . He sold gray market kubotas for many years and claims he thinks they're built better than the ones made for the u.s also said that whoever said the parts numbers wouldn't cross is wrong . He said it doesn't even make sense . He said he's never had trouble finding the matching part with the manual . I'm not sure who to believe .

Matters what manual's he sells? The equivalent American model manual which of course would be correct part #'s (except one's superseded since manual made) or if he's speaking of manual NIW is speaking of

Mechanic 90, ni wolfman is correct. Part numbers are in a different format in those manuals. I have one thats in english as well just for the l1501. Numbers are in the same format as wolfman described. And dropping the extra dash, you still have a bad part number.You might want to get the guy back on the phone and find out exactly how he cross referenced the part number. I would be really curious to know what his answer is. Since he used to sell the greys, can he tell you what the north american equivalent is to your tractor?
He said it doesn't make sense for them to have a different part number system he said part numbers change over time but still direct you to the new part number when searching . I agree it makes no sense to have two sets of part numbers since that would make things very complicated . Secondly being a mechanic I know that part numbers can be updated multiple times throughout the years . The only thing I can suggest is give me a part number and the model number of your tractor and let me try to find what part it is. If I can I'll buy the photo copied book if not I'll be back to square one

When I get home, I'll post a picture of one of the pages from my parts manual for the l1501, l1801, l2201. You can see what wolfman and I are talking about. Japan has it's own part number system. Seperate from the US. Greece and a few other country's in europe use that part number format. The rest use the format like you see in North America. Then take any of those part numbers and do your own search and see if they cross. My guess is he ordered his parts from yenibiz or traktor using the japanese format and had the parts shipped from over sea's. But thats just a guess.
Did he happen to say how he was cross referencing the part number?

Darren,
Is there anything wrong with doing it that way. As long as its a viable option then that manual could be quite useful to him. Especially if its his only option.

Based on that page I've barely been able to find anything ..what a joke!!! I'm ready to sell this thing ... Any American tractor I can google the model number and every pArt imaginable pops up what's the point in these ?

That's why I was curious how he was cross referencing the part numbers. The parts list I posted was for some of the engine components for the z751a, z851, and d1102 engines. Oil pan gasket, freeze plugs, oil pickup tube, bolts and some other things. The z751a is in the l185.
Here's what we need to be able to help you out. Post the engine model. It should be on the serial number plate. There are a couple different ways to help you with engine parts. The first, we can look on www.tractordata.com and find a north american model that has the same engine. Or there is also www.kubotabooks.com, they have a segment for engines which you can download for free and look for your motor. Seals, bearings and such for the transmission and rear end are gonna be common over several different models of similar size. You just need to figure out what other models that are similar and produced at the same time. Again, tractordata comes in handy for trying to figure this out. All is not lost with your grey market. It just takes some patience and a bunch of research

Not sure how I keep screwing this up but I do. Tractor isn't even an L2200 it's an L3500 it is a 1908cc 3 cylinder diesel .. The injector pump is 090000-2303 and down below says 9m0074

Oh, I'm sorry to inform you, the new information you provided didn't help you out any, The L3500 is even harder to find out info on!
