L345 Hood Replacement

[Duperdawg]

Hey I'm new to this site and to Kubota tractors.
Anybody know where to source a new/used/ aftermarket hood for an L345
Have called many of the salvage yards and checked dealer stock with no luck.
Kubota part number 35340-18110 Hood assembly is discontinued, I believe the hood fits both L345 and L355 models, if you guys know of others that might fit, please post.

Are there any aftermarket parts manufacturers making stuff for Kubota.
Any sources overseas that might have replacement tins for L345

Any advise here would be great

Thanks!!

Dd,

I bought a 9 mo old tractor with a smashed hood. A replacement from Kubota was $775 -without and decals. I went to a body shop and their best body guy worked on it for four days, hammering, welding, and Bondo-ing. That ran me $350. Later, when in for service work, the Kubota maintenance tech and service writer were stunned when I told them how wasted the hood was. Only when I pointed out the sound deadener I lined the inside with before painting could they tell.

Just a suggestion as its cheaper and, depending on what you need done, it might be a faster/easier solution.
