The under bonnet on my BX2360 has finally disintegrated to not repairable. A new one is over $350, does anyone have a good used one they would like to part with or know of anybody who sells used ones?

My guess is it is the plastic side grilles. OP may be a transplanted Brit (or someone who watches too many James Bond movies)

I too would like to see what is broken - there are ways to fix these type of problems without buying new.
Can you upload pictures?
yes, it's the one piece sides and grille section. 'under bonnet'...silly name.....
It's broken in pieces, I suppose I could try gluing it back together with epoxy or something but it's pretty fragmented. An d, yes, Kubota calls it the bonnet lol.
easy to repair. you can buy 'kits' of a hot iron and special wire Z strips to bond sections together Then use the CORRECT 'plastic rated' epoxy/adhesive For additional strength add a layer of f/g mesh and more epoxy. The under bonnet should have a triangular symbol and number or 3-4 letters ( say ABS,PVC, HDPE ) to show what 'plastic ' it's made from.
The 'tricks' to a real good repair are 1) using the CORRECT epoxy/adhesive and 2) reinforcing the joints.
I've seen dozens of car bumpers totally repaired this way.

Used ones will more than likely be in thhe same shap as yours.
Bite the bullet and get a new one.
here's one...
tons available, just need the right 'keywords' to reduce the search better.
crazy thing is for $60 this one's a really good deal...
similar stuff at TEMU
lots of choices....... be it Amazon or TEMU, all come from China anyway, just search for your best bang for the buck.
