Anyone know how to get a replacement grill for a mid-1990s L2350? First tractor I've owned, so not sure how to get parts for older models. Will consider aftermarket, but would prefer OEM. Just need some options at this point. Tractor came with one, but I dented it up a bit and I can't get it to fit on with both sides properly installed.

Look for parts tractors; post a looking for here, on Kubota groups on facebook, and you can look for tractors being parted out on Tractorhouse.

Start by doing an internet search.
You won't find much in the way of many Non OEM parts for Kubota, especially any body parts.
Ebay, Craigslist and several other sellers might have one out there.

Do you have the stock bumper/grill guard? If not, you might consider getting one so as to not beat up the grill. Not sure about the older tractors, but typically the bumper/grill guard is part of the FEL package. Plus there are aftermarket guards that usually mount to the OEM guards to provide even more protection. Some folks fabricate their own as well.

If you don’t need the tractor to look new, perhaps you can bang out the grill you have and grind it a bit to fit and paint it orange. Then mount up an OEM bumper/grill guard, augment it with additional protection as needed and be good to go with nary a concern for bending up the grill again.

Good luck with getting it sorted out.

I do not have a grille guard. Do you have a part number for the OEM grille guard? I found the grill part number is H3040-18230. Seems I can buy one for around $500...about what I figured I guess. Maybe a little high, but it does seem available. I posted on FB groups and all 3 responses I got so far are obvious scammers.

I can paint it if I could get it straight. I've tried to, but it was so bent I think if I keep banging on it then it's gonna break. Which I guess if I'm looking at replacements I may as well give it a go.

There’s a post about interchangeability of FELs for an L3010 currently. Therein, on post 3, is a link to the Kubota USA illustrated parts web site. You can get the part number there.

Post 3 - Kubota USA Illustrated Parts

I looked around on that site a bit, and I’m thinking perhaps such a guard wasn’t part of the FEL for your tractor. I did find it easily for a couple other models I checked.

Here’s a screen shot of the grill part number.

Typically it looks like the guard is listed with the “side frame” portion of the FEL parts diagrams. As you can see below, no such gaurd is shown. Maybe??? It’s in another diagram, but I did t see it with my poking around.

There wasn't a grill guard for that model, you would have to make your own.
The $500 grill you found, well it more than likely isn't available, it's probably a rogue listing.
I wish you luck with it.
You could try 007KubotaGuy and see if he has one available.

Take your damaged grill to a general repair/welder/body shop, to see if they can repair it to usable condition.
THEN have THEM make a grill guard too.
There must be some "good 'ol boy" welder/auto body repair shops in Texas.
The more rural you look, the more options/opinions you will likely find.

That's really helpful. Yes, my FEL includes that lower bar and the 2 side bars. Nothing in front of the middle of the grill really.

Guess I'll start making some calls today.

There are certainly some good old boy welder shops...but prices have skyrocketed on everything and by the time you pay them for 2-3 hours of time, you could have bought a new one.
