B20 Tie Rod End Dust Covers

[61yazoo]

I need to replace the tie rod end dust covers on my Kubota B20. According to the parts manual all four of the dust covers are the same; part #38240-12650. I've been reading a few articles and watching a few videos on the internet and they all seem to agree that the Kubota covers are made of rubber and will not last very long. Several of the videos talk about polyurethane upgrade covers for Kubota replacements but no one is putting them on a B20. Wondering if there are any B20 owners out there that have used the upgrade covers and which ones did they use. Or, if you have used the Kubota covers, did they seem to hold up very well?

I have been contemplating getting boots for my BX and found this website, but also found some on amazon putting in search . Perhaps this site or similar , or Amazon has some for your B20 also. BX Inner & Outer Tie Rod Boots or perhaps try Google search using " kubota b20 tierod boots"

Maybe the smaller ones have inferior boots but my 2002 and 2003 M9's have the original boots and are just fine.

Thanks Jake. I will give that a try.

Thank you. I will probably take one of mine off and carry it with me to the parts stores to compare with theirs. Never thought of that.
