Parts No Longer Being Produced

[tsekulajr]

I own a Kubota L2650 DT, recently I contacted Kubota about parts # 35080-40350, 35080-40380, 35060-40400, and 35060-40450. These are hydraulic lines that control the steering. I was informed Kubota no longer produce these parts and no other products were given to replace these parts. I am now waiting to here from Kubota if any technical diagrams can be given with detailed measurements so these parts can be manufactured.

Take them off and take them to your local hydraulic shop. They will be replicated in about an hour and at half the price.

It's done all the time.

I would not even communicate with Kubota about.

And get used to it, it's gonna get worse....wait till you need a gear.

I looked up all the parts and It looks like they are still available to buy at http://www.goldeneagledirect.com.

35080-40350 $33.10
35080-40380 $37.44
35060-40400 $64.50
35060-40450 $68.34

Give them a shout and see if they are still available, They have gotten me all the "rare / unavailable" parts for my L3450 which has the same parts as your L2650.

Yes, I have contacted several different part dealers like this one. They all list the parts and prices, but do not keep them in inventory. When you contact them about the parts they later tell you they are no longer being produced.

What ismurphy said. I replaced all the hoses on my FEL & all the hoses on my backhoe, 30 in all, and got none from the dealer. Most came from here:

tsekulajr,
If your talking about the rubber lines, just have them remade at a local shop or threw and online shop, might end up being cheaper too!

Or just by the parts and do it yourself, I made all my loader hoses for about an 1/8 of the cost of having someone else make them.

Yeah, what Ismurphy, Wolfman & Lil Foot said...

I took the length measurements of my B7100 FEL & Backhoe hoses w/ the fittings and the fitting thread sizes to my local NAPA dealer. I had all new identical hoses made up in about three hours. Cost was reasonable considering the large volume of hoses I got.

I agree with just getting them made up at your local hydraulics shop. Anything like bearings, fan belts or any other standard items can be usually sourced cheaper. Belts are one of the biggest scams ever, Might take a while at your bearing supply place but mine actually has a cross reference for most tractors and lawn mowers etc. and usually for 20% of what the dealer wants. And they are frequently identical because they supply the dealer. When I rebuilt one of my front axle hubs last year I only bought the unique seals, gaskets and a spacer from the dealer. Total cost of parts was $70. I was at a dealer once where a chap had bought a belt for $27 and found it was slightly short. They exchanged it for a half size bigger and charged him another $24. It was an "A" belt approx. 40" long. Shouldn't have cost more than $8-$10 whether half size or not. I am a retired HVAC mechanic and used belts everyday and yes they will usually sell to anyone.
