Sorta locked down here in WA state but getting work done clearing up the property - trying to locate a part number for the dust boot for the tie rod for a B2601 via the internet. Some of my interweb searching found a lot of discussion on the BX version and how the dealer only has the full tie rod as a replacement assembly unless you order the correct part number for the boot...but nothing I could find much on the 2601. Any help appreciated! TIA.

So these are supposed to fit and are an upgrade. Small price to try em out.
I'll post back my experience.

Yes. Seller says it fits a B as well. Part number sleuthing at Messicks seems to indicate this is true.
Thanks for adding the clarity as it was obvious. I'm certain the OP will be appreciative of information.

Installed this today. Good product, easy to install, better protection than the original.
So I'm in the same boat as you... I just called my dealer and the new tie rod is about $75-$80 for my new B2601. I really don't feel like spending that kind of money. I just wanted to double check to see how well this seals behind the boot. It doesn't look to have a rind to snap it into place. Or does it fit snug against the joint?
Thanks for any info!

As much as I prefer Kubota OEM replacement parts, I won't buy OEM tie rod ends. The aftermarket ends are greaseable. The OEM ends are not (at least on my M9's they aren't and the aftermarket ones are substantially less expensive.

It has a ring and fits very snug.
