Seeking 1980, L185 complete decal set kit source please

[Tallbald]

I called my local dealer this morning and they do not have a kit with all the decals but can order them individually with different part numbers. I can imagine how expensive the cumulative price might be.
I wish for a set with lever markings cautions, the hood of course and as much of duplicates to original as I can. Ebay has a few sets but they don't seem to be as complete as I'm hoping for.
I'd appreciate some links to sellers of a good decal set. I searched here and didn't find a link, but yes, I could be missing it. Please feel free to PM me if that's preferred.
As always, thank you so much. Don

I can email you a spreadsheet with all the part numbers that I got from
Russell King, it has prices from, I think his local dealer also.
That will give you an idea of what the costs will be.

He also sent me scans of all the L185 labels he purchased.

Hi and thanks for responding. A list would be wonderful. Do you have any gut feeling whether or not the total price for decals from the dealers is close to the aftermarket kits I sometimes see online? I don't know if you've seen my tractor in photographs in another section of the forum or not yet. I'm really proud of my old tractor, and of course look forward to restoring her. Don

Most kits are "generic" warning labels, I would, and am ordering them from Kubota. PM me with your e-mail, I will send that to you tonight.

A lot of the decals from Kubota are poorly translated into English. A lot are small numbers called marks. Some you could just leave off and never know the difference. A lot of the safety warnings you will probably not want to install since they are shown high on the fenders. I bought them all not knowing what some were but the total was around $175 to $200. You might consider just ordering the operating ones (keys, lights, shutoff...) and ignore others.

Russell I was wondering the same thing. Those beautiful fenders? Almost hate to put decals on them. I have some time to ponder. Don
