For mail order, many here use Messick's and/or Coleman's. I believe parts are all OEM.
A local Kubota dealer is also a good option.
Here is a good resource to find the current part numbers you need. Often part numbers are superseded and replaced by another number:
apps.kubotausa.com
Agree to legal, then put in your L2850 model number.

I have used both coleman and messick a lot
problem is--shipping costs. They've gotten higher than a cat's back, and now you also have to pay sales tax too. So, by time you add shipping and tax, it's almost cheaper to just go to a local dealer and get stuff there.

My local dealer sells for the same as Messicks/Coleman. Cheaper when you realize my local dealer does not charge shipping. Cheaper still that the parts manager lives a mile from me and I place an order over the phone and swing by his place and pick up.
Even if the local dealer is a little more expensive, give them the business. Help them be there, you never know when you'll need a widget and thy have it in stock, right now.

My CNH/Kubota dealer is less than 5 miles away and, being a good customer, my parts manager gives me a 15% discount on most parts.
I almost never buy elsewhere.

Almost but not. I just ordered $162 worth of parts from Messicks - shipping was $13 and everything will be on my doorstep tomorrow. I will not expend an hour of my time and $10 in fuel going to my local dealer who will charge me considerably more and won't have the grille I just purchased in stock requiring a return trip.
I could have purchased the two each oil and HST filters from Amazon for $10 more than Messicks and gotten "free shipping" and 3 day delivery. It would have been a wash and I would still need the grille.....
Sadly the days of $5 flat rate factory drop ship and heavily discounted prices from TractorSmart are long gone. Maybe Ronnie Bowman can find a friendly ear and enough corporate clout at Amazon to resurrect it

My dealer is 14 miles away and if I need an OEM part I call and order it via their “usual stock” method. That way I pay no freight…. as they get weekly deliveries from Kubota distribution.
I also pay no tax on applicable items because I applied for and rec’d a Texas Timber and Ag Tax exemption permit to raise hay. It’s a simple on-line process.
