Do I have to junk my beloved B2800 D?

I believe there is a member here who sells parts for older Kubota tractors. Used but serviceable parts.
For the the life of me I can’t remember his screen name. I bet somebody will though!

Are we talking a B8200D or B2800D?
Your title says B2800D, but your profile says B8200D.
That's a good place to start in your search.....
Geared or HST?
Have your tried Kubota Tractor Corporation - Illustrated Parts List (kubotausa.com) for parts numbers you're looking for?
The person Henro was talking about is 007kubotaguy . He has older L parts, not so sure of B parts. If you see him give a thumbs up on this thread, you might be in luck.

I've seen a few people use the electric power steering from a Saturn Vue. They are remarkably inexpensive.

What exact tractor do you have? B8200 gear drive?
If so, I may have the gearbox. I removed from a tractor with 600 hrs or so and installed power steering.

yes, to see if it is like mine. Mine was working great and I took it to the dealership to replace a seal on the rear left axle and when I got it back the power steering doesn't work. It steers, but no assist. Before it was smooth and effortless like running on glass.
It was a bit of work but I put one of those on my 1950 8n. What a difference with the arthritic shoulders! Got the control from the guy on ebay. I still have the 8n for snow plowing and firewood.

If it steers but no assist on a B8200 you do not have a bad gearbox. All hydraulic assist in steering is attached to the drag link.
Pretty amazing how many of those old 8N's are still around and still working just as good as any new tractor. Did you update the ignition system, or are you still running the old magneto hardware?
The 8N didn’t have a magneto. (That would be a 2N). The 8N had points/condenser/coil ignition.
Yes I did update that when I changed to 12 volt adding a gm alternator. Those things made it a sure starter in the winter here in upstate new york. A couple years ago I did a valve job replacing all of them. An old mechanic local to me came and ground the valves for me with one of those, I think it was a Sioux valve grinders.
Mine is a 1950 side distributor and a sherman over, under, direct too.
