Thanks for your response. Somewhat unsettling to think that Kioti hasn't maintained a supply line for older equipment. I have spoken with the local Kubota dealer to see if the might have a similar support, but no luck. Kioti and Kubota had a very thin link at their beginnings but then each went...

I am looking for a replacement rocker arm support for my LB1714. Not available through my Kioti dealer so searching for a new or used item. This cast aluminum part seems to be prone to cracking/breaking. The part # is E5205-14351. I have found a used support but it is showing signs of cracking...

I just needed the 38mm thermostat. Googled and found an equivalent from Kubota. Part #s are: Thermostat - 1E399-73012 and gasket - 16264-73270.

Here is a pic of that assembly - contains all pieces from the rad to the block.

It seems that the part # is for a thermostat kit. Do you have an idea of what the kit is? Thermostat & gasket - or other pieces, possibly?

Great information. Thanks so much!

Dealer is looking into it for me. Good idea to take it to store to check. Thanks.

I have a Kioti LB1714 (1988 - first year of production). I require a new thermostat but having trouble sourcing. The old thermostat has a flange of 38 mm and post of 27 mm. Searches return part #s that are larger - probably for later model years. Any information would be appreciated.
