My poor kubota has sat on a wet damp west cork Island in Ireland for 25 years before my uncle handed me the keys.There is not much left that hasnt rotted passed repair,but I am going to ensure it never rusts again.Where I can I'm going to replace parts with stainless steel.Why? ...I dont know, sentimental value maybe..I learned to drive on it a long time ago.
My aim is to do it thru innovation and as little monetary investment as possible,over this side of the water parts are hard to come by and very expensive when you can get them.......I dont know will this thing even start, saying that Ive been hooked on this little tractor so I know I'll get there!!!!.Progress is slow but here are a few pics so far.Ive managed to make new mud guards,new battery diesel tank holder and rebuilt part of the radiator fan cover all in shiny 316L.
Now I'm not ruling out painting it orange when all the stainless relacement is done but not till the very end.Wish me luck.
ps.Thank god there is a website like this,without the support and knowledge shared here I bet a lot of kubota's would have been laid to rest.Keep up the good work guys.
