OEM service tools source?

[Laurla Farms]

Where can I find tools specifically designed (proprietary to kubota) used to service My B2601? My immediate need now is to replace to steering tie rod. The contact points on the components for a wrench are extremely narrow. especially hydraulic rod side which is only 5.5mm wide.

In particular, I believe that you are looking for a thin head wrench. Number of manufacturers and can be found at Amazon and some Home Depots.

Very few tools, if any, that should ever be needed from Kubota.

You might try this. Fit wrenches on both tie rods and try to break one loose from the steering cylinder rod. Maybe the one you're after will come loose first. Problem solved. If not, unscrew the one that did come loose and back it out far enough to fit a regular wrench on the shaft flat spots. Then try again to loosen the tie rod you're after.

Cheap HF combo-wrench…. grind it thinner.
