Sonny have you had a lot of experiance welding cast? I am assuming( you know def of assume) I see this is the exhaust? I am assuming it is cast.Please let me know. Can you send me a picture if not I will be looking for the picture on a website I know of. talk later we may be able to salvage that one. I will send you a pm when I hear from you. Glad to hear you are a welder by trade I have done it since early 70s.handy

Vic may picup on this thread tomorrow if he doesnt try west kentucky tractor parts. type in address bar whypt.com should come up. We may be able to salvage that one I have repaired a lot of exhaust manifolds.vic goes by service dept vic he is very knowlegable of what parts will fit other tractors. I do them different than most welders. Let me know. handy

Let me know. handywell i guess i started welding about the same time you did i have welded more pipe than you can shake a stick at and burned my share of ni rod on cast. i might be able to fix this manifold i haven't tried yet just thought i would replace it if i could find one. I will try to get a pic or two if i can figure out how to post it. these computers are a new thing to me.

sonny I understand about posting the pics I have problems ther also. I was a pipefitter and boilmaker crossover either one for a lot of years also. No doubt you are qualified maybe sometime we will get a chance to meet like to. I talked to a person at the link kentucky tractor i sent you been a few months ago. They said they had a lot of kubota you may want to try there. I will send you a pm and ask a question. Good luck handy.
sounds like a winner to me. i worked a lot of years as a pipe line welder and about the same amount of time in a mechine shop. the last few years i have lived on the farm and just fix farm and logging equipment for the local folks .don't make much money but at least im here to see the grand kids grow up.
Smart man same reason I came off the road when I did good money but rough on family when they told me and my traveling buddy we HAD to go below miamia fl. and miss christmas with the family. wont go into it but time for decision we spent christmas with family. handy

Hi Sonny,
JWB was referring to handyman. We all just call him handy. I believe handy has been in touch with you about the manifold. He's a hell of a man and a hell of a friend.
This forum can get confusing until you get used to it. Everybody will jump in and do what other forums refer to as hijacking. That's such an ugly word.
Here, we just think of it as sitt'n around and having a great conversation with the fellas. Remember, there's always room for one more around the burn barrel.
I know I'm late but welcome to this great forum!
By the way, I like that phrase "don't worry about the mule just load the wagon".

good morning traildust. didn't really mean to sound like a horses a. and i am always open to new ways of looking at a repair. i was hoping some one could tell me if kubota used this engine in something sold here in the us. there is no english writing in the engine that i can find only 1908cc
Welcome to the forum Sonny.Most of the Grey market tractors will cross over with U.S. models. If you post some thing in the grey market section you may get a quicker better answer. Sorry I can't be more help. Dusty

Hi Sonny, and yes today was a good morning!
Please, no worries about sounding like a horses a. I have learned on the forum that what ever I read probably is not what the guy intended when he wrote it.
For that engine, I don't know anything about those. But like Dusty mentioned there are a lot of cross overs that are very similar. The only problem is finding those little creatures. The only person I know for sure that can give you the answer is Vic. Man that guy blows my mind with the stuff he knows. Maybe if you sent him a PM it would be a lot faster. Here is a link to his profile: Service Dept Vic.
Take care,
Scott
WOW!, Now this is a case of someone taking something the wrong way. I was just trying NOT to hijack the thread. Just wanted to learn from Handy. The guy knows all kinds of GREAT stuff! On a few of the job sites I work on there are "plumbers" who have been welders since before the wheel was invented. They remind me all day long of there "knowlege" (These guys say that TIG welding and pulse MIG are "fads"). I wanted to glean some knowlege from Handy, A guy who knows his "onions". Sorry for the confusion. No harm no Foul.
Sonny hope you are getting some info on that manifold. I beleive vic will be contacting you if not already good luck. If you ever toward my way give me a day notice we will meet and drink a cup coffee or something. Good luck handy
