Has anyone had luck getting just the gear and not a kit which includes outer ring gear, and kit costs $1800.00?

The reason they are sold as a set (kit) it because they wear together and getting a new gear without a mate will cause excessive wear and possible very early failure.


But here is one cheap option:

I have a 2006 L48 TLB, so I try to follow all such issues for my future reference.
Hopefully I will not ever find myself in your predicament....but who knows?
The "Friday Parts" reference is all new to me, but I have made note of it as a source.

I have spent much time in Hong Kong in years past, and have generally (not always) found sources there to be reliable.
It would not surprise me to learn that many Kubota "OEM" replacement parts, are now being made in mainland China.
The Kowloon business address for Friday Parts is a commercial business address, and is probably the address of a warehousing/shipping facility.
Though it matters not, the actual parts are likely manufactured elsewhere in China.
