WTB: B7100 grille

[AOW162435]

I am trying to find the "KUBOTA" lettering/badge that attaches to the B7100 grille. Please let me know if you have one of these nameplates, or the entire grille.

May luck be on your side!

This makes me laugh at your optimism

Something tells me it would be easier to whittle one from a piece of pine than find the actual nameplate.....

Not sure it is what you are looking for but Messicks has one in stock for about $20

Kubota #K3311-47340 MARK

No pictures of it but you could call them and ask them to send a picture or description to you

Do you have an HST or a DT?
The mark (label) Russell put up is for an HST
This is for the DT.

Not exactly a surprise.

If they are NLA what about getting one 3D printed or having one engraved out of plastic or aluminum?
Doesn't look like it'd be too hard to replicate with a straight on picture...

I thought about that as well.

I bought 32240-18260 for my L-185 a few years ago, maybe it’s available
it is about 6 inches x 1 5/8 and has studs on the rear about 5 1/4 apart

I was able to locate a B6100 grille (with nameplate) at one of the dismantlers in the Midwest.
Other than the thin chrome flaking off, the nameplate was in perfect shape.
I've already stripped it clean in my bead blaster and am considering making a mold of it before I refinish & install on the tractor.
With a mold, it should be easy to replicate these in resin if there is an interest. I would cast threaded studs in place.

Looks like a perfect part for a 3d print reproduction as well.

Agree. Having it printed is the easy part. I have no idea where one could have it scanned though.

Good point. Handheld scanners are a few hundred clams...which is probably a bit overkill for a NLA part for a 40 year old Kubota

Check with your local library or school, as most have a 3D printer club or know of one.

I'll look into that. In the meantime, I made a silicone mold of the nameplate. Never know when someone may knock on your door looking for a B7100 nameplate.
