I am in the middle of a restoration of a Kubota B20. I have scoured ebay and other online sources for the hood decals and am coming up empty handed.

I am fine with using alternate / generic decals for the model number and "Kubota" brand decals, but I would really like to preserve the hood stripe with the 4WD to maintain the original look. I see the parts Kubota parts diagrams do include some of the various control labels, but sadly not the hood decals.

Does anybody know of a source for these? If not, I may try designing them myself and having them printed custom. If I go that route, are these standard vinyl decals, or are equipment decals usually something else? Has anyone found a reasonable sign / print shop that has made them high quality custom decals?

Thanks for any help!

Wow, I feel stupid now! I had been looking for hours trying to find those.

They have a "LABELS" main category in the parts diagrams index, so I had looked there first, and of course those are not in that index. :eek: Then I also checked under HOOD(BONNET)/CHASISS -> HOOD BONNET, and that had the hood parts, but not the decals. Totally missed there was an additional "LABEL 1" sub section underneath the CHASSIS main category.

Thanks guys!

Mark15, don't feel like the Lone Ranger! Finding some parts on those pages is a project. Sometimes the parts guys at the dealers can't find them.

Not to hijack thread,I just spent 270.00 to have the decals for my 1983 Hardee Tiger bushhog duplicated,took pictures of old decals with tape measure beside them,took them to a custom sign maker ,the graphic art designer duplicated them and I had 2 sets made. He worked them over and they look so good it made me forget about the $ . Can't wait to get the bushog sandblasted and already bought paint,new seals,new blades already installed,Spring bushog jobs done. If u can take a picture of it with something to measure it with any custom sign shop should be able to help. If you can't get one to work with you PM me and I will send u the company I used. Good luck to all on your projects.
