So there I was......Cheating on OTT with another forum 
Sorry I will try and keep my eyes focused
I ran across a thread that talked about a BX HST Fan upgrade kit. My eyes raised and read about an upgrade protection kit available to protect that little gem.
I guess Kubota has had a few issues with a stick or somethig killing the little $12.00 part that equals to about $500.00-$600.00 labor bill to replace it the right way
So this morning I called 3 Kubota dealers and guess what? 2 of the 3 didn't know anything about it the 1 who did took 15 minutes to find a part number then another 10 minutes to locate it The 2 that didn't know about it after my education, they were able to get info after a couple of call backs they were able to find the part. Why don't all dealers know about this?
This cost for the kit is about $35.00. I am sure it didn't cost Kubota anywhere near that ( I could be wrong ). Now this is just me thinking with the amount we have spent to buy our toys (Oops mechines) that Kubota could provide them to us as a recall type of thing considering they are a needed item to protect fan and now part of the new BX tractors.
Now please don't get me wrong I LOVE MY KUBOTA and would buy another one if the situation ever presents itself again.
