M9540 AC Compressor Selection

[McCray]

The AC compressor clutch is squealing at times. It broke my belt. New Kubota compressor is $1575 and if I just buy the clutch, it is $1045. I like OEM parts but feel the price is very unreasonable. Has anyone used aftermarket compressors like Denso, Eoiou or Sanden with good success? Sanden is popular conversion on older JD tractors in my area but don't see one offered for Kubota. I have sent Sanden an inquiry. Any experience with these brands or others on a Kubota? There must be a better solution that OEM price. Thanks for reading.

Try getting the Kubota part number from Messicks or kubotausa.com.
Do an internet search with that number and an equivalent or exact match may very well show up.possibly from Amazon,and others
Good Luck!

Thank you. I have done that which led me to notice a company I never heard of, Eoiou, via Amazon. I trust Sanden but they do not seem to offer options for Kubota, saw troublesome info on Denso. For others that may read this post, this is what I found out about Eoiou............ EOIOU trademark is used in the following business: Air compressors; Cylinder heads for engines; Engine fuel pumps; Engine injectors; Fuel pumps for land vehicles; Intake and exhaust air flow vane assembly device for use in an internal combustion engine; Internal combustion engine parts, namely, piston rings; Oil pumps for land vehicles; Pistons for engines; Vehicle engine parts, namely, oil tank plugs and caps; Vehicle parts, namely, carburetors; Water pumps for land vehicles; Water pumps for use in motors and engines . .............It is a China company which is far better than India but not nearly as good as Japan and the good ole USA.

I got RD451-93900 for a part number?
Found some Denso SV07E units on e-bay and some other vendors,$200-300.
Haven't heard bad stuff about them.Then again,your OE compressor is bad also.
I would certainly give one a chance.

Good Luck!

FWIW......I spent the big bucks on the factory AC compressor. It was close to 2k when I bought it. (4 or 5 years ago) It didn't make it one year and the clutch froze up. Dealer said it was out of warranty. I've been without AC every since. So, I'll be following this thread closely!
