Hey guys,
I have a chance to buy a L1-205D Kubota Sunshine, I have limited knowledge on tractors in general but I'm mechanically minded.
the tractor is owned by a friend of my father's and it's at a workshop currently as it put the con rod through the block, now the mechanics as far as i know had a hard time sourcing parts to fix it, they seem to think its a Chinese copy? i have had a look at it and it has a 1462-DI motor it also has 70223 and K2-c stamped on the head and on the block has the number stamped 1.395 followed by (omega symbol) if that helps.
The machine itself is very tidy i believe it has only done 300hrs. The owner has moved on and bought a new machine and has told my father we can have it, if we settle the bill... (which i will find out shortly what the bill is) i am quiet capable and doing the work myself (except obviously specialist machining work if needed) the only thing is i know nothing about kubota tractors, But from what i see it looks an easy fix just parts sourcing and if there is a Chinese model and a Japanese model if the parts are different that is what most concerns me. also where can i find the identification plate ?
