I have an L175 with the split front rims with 20 X 8.0 X 10 turf tires. The bolt holes are cracked and they are to the point now that they won't hold air. Has anyone found another rim that will work as a replacement? Obviously Kubota no longer supplies them. Any help would be appreciated.

Look at Messicks and find the part number of the rim. Then see if the list various models that it fits. If you can’t find that out it would just widen your search criteria.
Then contact @007kubotaguy who runs this salvage yard in California.
I found that my L185F front rims were the same as the L260 rims although the tire width is different. So he was able to ship me two rims from a L260!
There is also a place called Hey Wheel that can probably make you rims

Thanks Russell, believe me I exhausted all the options that I could think of before I posted asking for help. I did not know of the salvage yard though so I did reach out to them.
Without knowing the rim type: is welding the cracks not possible?
Alternatively the easy way out with leaking rims is putting in a tube.
