Wow, you are very fortunate!A woman I have been talking to at Engine Power Source (my local Kubota dealer referred me) just sent me an email saying that she had spoken to her marine specialist in Florida and that they had located a pan for me, machined to fit the dipstick. The whole bill, including gasket and plug will be under $200 and I should have the items in a little over a week. I am really impressed with her initiative and service. I will let you know when the parts arrive and if they do the trick. Now to start cleaning up the mess in the bilge.
