Do you know a clear coat that sticks to polished brass and that lasts and does not yellow over time? So far I have not been successful finding one.
Hugo you should open a g1900 parts store for the rest of us:cool: The craftmanship and work you are doing is amazing. I am still so bummed that my combo box got lost on the way to you. Keep posting buddy the updates are inspiring.

Oh, thank you very much!

Yes, the G1900 repair saga will continue, just took the whole front axle apart. A tiny bit of play in it, about 5mm on the outside. This is a major contributor to the steering wheel play. 0.025-0.089mm play is the factory spec at the swivel joint.

Wrt the combination box: there must be a way getting that back, particularly if it was the clerk that made the mistake with the address. Even the Irish Post could track it down in the US.

I would love to offer the upgraded combination box with the diagnostics and the emergency start mode but I would need faulty ones for the enclosure and the connector. Was not able to find that anywhere and I really spent ages on the internet.

If possible post a pic of the way it mounts with the seat up please
Likely will not be out back there until spring :D But, it mounted up just like the stock seat IIRC. Though IIRC only 2 bolts lined up. It's never come loose and it's on securely. If/when I find time I plan on modding it a little to use all 4 bolts. But it basically screwed to the stock Kubota "slider" assembly.
Really quite comfortable and I like that with the armrests down I'm not constantly fighting to not slide off the seat when doing my culverts.
