I'm new here but I have had my Kubota for 6yrs its a great little Tractor up till last summer when the steering box broke.I went to my local dealer and while they have been a great help they tell me the shaft and bearings are discontinued for it. So I went to the Internet to see what I could find and came across Kumar bros... while being pleasant on the phone I really don't believe they have my best interest in mind. I purchased the shaft and bearings kit and a week or so later they showed up which was longer than they said ,funny how they're a 2 hr drive from me,anyway... I pulled it apart cleaned everything up well put it back together as I was instructed to and it broke 2 months later again. Called them again they did send a new shaft did the deed again but yet again it broke .so here I am with it broken again and no support from Kumar bros because they say the 1st one is out of warranty now and I would have to purchase another shaft from them. I'm basically looking for some advice as to where I can a more quality part and service help any help would be appreciated before I buy more junk thanks Tom
