    Hood needed for M6040 (M7040 will work)

    You are so kind!!! Thank you. I'm just wondering if buying the lights, grill and I'm assuming, the screens is going to be more expensive than just holding out for a total hood with everything attached. I see you're just south of WR, Ga. Hmmmmm. Can we talk? I'm in B'ham, AL and I go to...

    Hood needed for M6040 (M7040 will work)

    I priced a new hood, screens, lights, etc... from Kubota and nope!!!!! Surely, there is an insurance tractor or a scratch-n-dent or used Kubota hood out there somewhere!!!!

    M6040 telescopic sway bar has broken.

    After 15 years of pretty nasty rotary cutting (I don't have the pleasure of rotary cutting pastures) with a Hvy Duty Woods Rotary Cutter (I'm within the HP limits to the implement) and a 8' disk, understandably, their lifetime was up. I really didn't want to get into it (it take words to...

    I'm not sure the price difference, but I know Kubota part$. I LOVE my Kubota tractor but I'm at the point where I don't even call a K dealership for a price on a part if I can do something else.

    M6040 telescopic sway bar has broken.

    I searched for this subject on prior thread but didn't see an answer. Kubota parts expensive. Other than a turnbuckle, any suggestions? Part # S66461 sold by Hodge Farm Equipment is a possibility, but HFE person doesn't know if this part will work on a M6040. Any advice given would be...

    M6040 - Stump beats fuel tank

    Sigh! I just got my 2006 M6040 back from the shop with new FEL cables/hydraulics, joystick, front-end rebuild, etc... And today, dang if I didn't hit a stump while mowing in some planted pines and practically ripped my fuel tank off as I damaged the housing/brackets and put a tear (where a...
