Obscure parts for a Kubota Model 1200 Loader

[tomasaur]

Hi folks,
I'm fixing up my loader and have been looking for the warning decals that went on the side. I know it's a bit of an anal thing, but it's fun to redo it to look like the original out of the box.
Anyway, I've scoured the net, and talked with my local dealer, all to no avail. The last time I got a part (a cylinder seal kit), it was because my local guy has scribbled the updated part number in the margin of this old paper manual. The part numbers in the manual are obsolete. So, here's the manual page, the part number is 7794.
If anyone knows some guy who loves stocking all this old stuff, I'd love to hear about it!

The loader was made in the US for Kubota, but not by Kubota - hence the trouble finding parts. You may have more luck finding one with decent decals and getting new ones made from high-res photos.

Thanks, that's good information. I've found a local company that had previously made the Kubota logo that goes on the side of the loader arms, so they were able to print me some vinyl decals for a very reasonable price. I'd say that's a win.
I'll see about getting a high-res pic of the the warning decal, that's a good idea.

Wonder if you were ever able to find the Caution Decal?
I am also in need of a good photo and size, also same for the Operating Decal!

I never did find that decal. Here's photos of the decals around it, there were a total of 3 along the left side vertical loader fram. You can probably work out the dimension by measuring your frame.
Best of luck!

Thank you, thats a start, do you have the loader control decal?
Could you provide the frame measurment, I am no where near the loader?

Unfortunately I couldn't find any of these decals, so I ended up with a blank surface.

The top, mostly illegible decal, appears to have been a warning regarding lowering the bucket during transportation, 3"W, 4.5" H
The yellow caution sticker was 3"W, 4"H
The white operation sticker was 3"W, 7"H

I'd say that you could send these photos to a printer and have him make you up a vinyl decal. You could probably do it yourself in Photoshop or other grapics software. I'll let you know if I get inspired to do that myself...

Thank you for the measurements,
I will recreate them as best I can in Adobe Illustrator. The white one is going to be the toughest because it's very hard to read any of that text. The other two are not a problem. We have already recreated the serial number decal and the side loader arm 'Kubota Gear' decals.

We already sell a lot of Kubota decals on line, one of our customers is the one looking for these.

Actually this all started when I had to create my own L1500 DT decals for my restoration, because there were none available, and it has spiraled out of control into people requesting stuff left and right.

If I get anything put together I will definitely let you know and send you a set.
