Part/Model#/ID Labels

[Trimley]

Some may think I'm going a bit far, that's OK.

Labels: Under the hood. Pictures were taken of:

Hood Prop
Engine ID
Starter
Alternator
Fan Belt
Radiator
Headlights
Fuse Panel Acces
Fuse Block
Battery

Why?
Future Reference.
Labels wear off.

Heck 1/2 the 'warning' stickers and labels went byebye several power washings ago....

You can have the headlight bulbs from my BX23S as they're 'useless as teets on a bull'.
I did upgrade the rears to LEDS, so the old bulbs are in garage 'somewhere', if you find them ,you can have them.

Haha, I get it. I don't need your old bulbs..lol. The numbers are good for cross-reference, and having pictures, saves me a trip (and time) going to the shop to find out. Win/win.

The warning labels are beyond what's necessary. With lawsuits coming from idiots these days, I understand why it's done.

I guess I'm at a loss of what a picture of a part does for you???
A visual reference to a part without the part number does little good.
FYI if you do find a part number on a part, it 99.9% of the time will not be a real part number.
Kubota has done this for years, they are production numbers not actual part numbers.
If only there was a web site with the part numbers and pictures and locations of the parts.
Oh wait there is : https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/

I'm aware some are production labels, I never mentioned taking pictures of those, nor asked about them.

I gather info because the method in which labels are created, their legibility is short lived. The images I take, the information will be documented in the SM for (if need be) later cross reference for replacement by other manufactures.

I may not ever need the info. Who knows, the next owner, or the one after that may.

I like taking pictures of cool mechanical stuff too. I’ve got one or two (dozen) of the tractors. Including the stickers that are easily visible like on the FEL, SSQA, Bucket. I known on mine, those numbers are the actual “assembly” numbers, well at least I can find them on the net with those numbers. Starting with an “L” and having 4 digits, most starting with a “2”. I’m sure I’ll get schooled as to what those numbers are really called.

I suspect there’s probably another multi-segment 8 to 10 digit part number for each of those as well, plus a few dozen more part numbers for all the little bits and pieces.

I don't drink, sober 7 years.
I quit cigarettes 12 years ago.
I don't smoke dope because contact highs are free.
My wife can't play rough due to recent back surgery.
My left knee is going to blow out any day now, so I can't go chasing the women or run from their husband's.
The weather stinks, because all the ground turns to muck if I play on the tractor, so I play in my mind with ideas.

You could be right.
