Grand L Rear Remote Handle Cover Replacements

[DB-n-VA]

My tractor is two years old and have noticed that my rear remote handles are splitting apart and loose. Does anybody have a solution for this or a replacement option that last longer then two years?

Had really good luck with liquid plasti dip. I have a cab so mine are inside, but if I had this issue I would just replace with a new oem and then dip it 3 times.

I used electrical heat shrink tubing that had interior glue. It has held up well for six months so far.

I have decided to order the OEM replacement for the time but I am very interested in the Davies Hand Knobs. They appear to be a good product and after checking their website, there is no information on what the handles can tolerate. I called the number to Davies Molding and ask the customer rep. how good are these handles to UV exposure or chemical exposure and she gave me a email address to send me questions to so one of the their tech's could respond. I will respond to this once I receive answers for those who have the same problem looking for a solution.

Park your tractor indoors and out of the sunshine and elements it will last longer

Happened to all three of mine shortly after delivery.

Kubota replacements lasted less than two years.

Tractor is never outside unless being used.
