Kubota vs M-25

[Ed van Kessel]

I am reading alot about Kubota tractor parts working on a M-25 engine.I just paid $62 US for a thermostat. The Canadian price was $190. Seem nuts to me considering you can buy a car thermostat for less than $20.Is there an equivalent Kubota engine number for the M-25?Is a farm equipment supplier suitable for parts like fuel injectors, seals, starter motors, hoses, ...?Ed#4900

Yes

Kubota D850.$62 for a thermostat??? That's nuts! (I have two spares, both used, that I'll sell for $30 each!).

Parts sources

Ed, I don' thave but on esource for parts - I usually scour the web for sources, paying particualr attention to cross-referenced part numbers, and OEM part numbers. For example, I found the manufacturer's part number for the injectors on the Kbota D850, adn bought new injectors from a diesel parts outlet in Colorado (found them on hte web) for less than the cost of rebuilding my old ones! Just keep looking, and take notes.jv
