Call your dealer and have them call parts technical to see if they have a part number for that. The number for the tank is T1885-71150 for reference when they call.

If you don't have any luck with Kubota, Dorman makes a lot of replacement caps, of different sizes.
I'm looking for the same thing. Dealer tells me I have to buy the whole reservoir for $180. There was clearly something wrong as the wings that lock it in place are incredibly brittle now.
Many of the washer reservoirs are universal relative to the cap. Try automotive parts stores and / or dealers. Or your local bone yard.
The caps don't have any UV protection and will become brittle in a short time if left in the sun. Like others have said, to get a replacement cap one will need to buy the entire unit.
Mine went bad on an M7060 in about a month and the dealer gave me a new unit under warranty. Before I went to the dealer, I searched and searched for a replacement lid but to no avail. If someone does find one, please post back where it can be purchased.
Anyway, made a cover for the replacement unit out of some black UV resistant material and that seems to be working out well so far. The cover is basically a "bag" that fits over the entire reservoir (please see attached photo).
Now... what can be done about Kubota's fading paint.... It goes from orange to pukie pink

Update on my progress for finding replacement cap.
I tried several Dorman reservoir caps and could not find one that would fit.
Windshield washer reservoir cap size on my M7060:
outside diameter = 1.645"
inside diameter = 1.300"
I ordered a 1.625" x 1 1/2" std red cap (RVC9045) from mocap.com and it did not fit tight enough and I was afraid it would fall off. At mocap the min order is 10 and they are about $1 apiece.
I requested a free sample 1.51" x 1 1/2" vinyl cap sample from stockcap.com and it worked. It's a tight fit and you have to work it on but so far has not fallen off.

I contacted Kubota and they confirmed the cap is not available without the tank. Pretty poor IMO.
