All you non believers should do a little research before you condem the man who started this post. I used to work for a dealer who sold Kubota tractors. I had a customer come in looking for the electric switch that runs the electric motor than run the hydraulics to lift the 3 point hitch. I looked and looked for it on the parts breakdown, could find it nowhere. He brought in a book, it showed the switch and the part number, not in our price list, called Kubota in Columbus, OH. Was told this part was not a valid Kubota part number. Cusomter brought model and serial number off tractor. Was a Japanese tractor, made for Japan only, parts were only available from a Japanese Kubota dealer. So basically he was S.O.L. I think he finally rewired another switch to get to work, but still did not work real weel, but did function. He did not know he had a Gray Market tractor, never had heard of them. Was mad at me, mad at Kubota, thought they should build tractors the same no matter where it was built for. He has a point there.
