For Kubota L305 and L345 parts mainetractors.net may be a source.
Currently they don't list a L305 block but they do show one for an L345 (4cyl).
Edit: - As I finished the post above I realized the L345's engine is 4 cylinders and is very different from the L305's 3-cylinder so the one in Maine would be no help.
Found a listing for a used L305 block here.
How bad is your block? A picture might help get more ideas from members.
Best luck and welcome to the "old Kubota owners" group!

I do have a couple good used blocks. The L295 and L305 are the same engine. I am in central california. Looks like All States AG parts has one. Would be much closer to you. If you can't find one send me a message and we'll see what freight would cost. Good luck in your search.
I WILL TRY TO POST SOME PICTURES THIS EVENING WHEN I GET HOME. THE HOLE IS ABOUT FIST SIZE GOING DOWN TO WHERE THE DIP STICK IS LOCATEDFor Kubota L305 and L345 parts mainetractors.net may be a source.

Maybe like the hole in the block in this thread?
Fixing hole in side of block
He reused a head gasket 4 times and you think there would be only one use of a spray gun ;). True 🤦♂️

This is a long, long thread but does get around to patching the hole with a patch and epoxy glue.

99% likely the connecting rod is broken and the stump poked a hole in the block. Don't start it again. The broken out pieces they could be brazed back in place - but that would come WAY down the road after finding and fixing what caused the rod to fail - and what else inside the engine needs replacing. To get the pan off on that model, the front axle and bracket have to be taken off.
