A Kubota Mid-PTO Spline Adapter

Thanks for that. I might be in the need for this too, but the tank location is an ongoing concern. No idea where i might put that...

If you dont need clearance, how about a boat fuel tank slung under the tractor?
If you do need the clearance, I would look at a side mount or L shaped tank mounted on the RH side of your tractor by the cab.

Ok, my vague idea for the tank was 2 4' pieces of 6" pipe, slung under the tractor somehow. Anything that makes the tractor look more like a fighter jet has got to be worth doing. That'd net around 11 gallons, if you could make them fit.

Only problem with the pipe idea, is 6" steel pipe is probably around $20/ft retail, not cheap. Wall thickness is also kinda overkill for the application, but extra dead weight on the tractor not really a bad thing.

Aluminum pipe in that size may be available cheaper, I got some 5" Al pipe on Amazon recently for a good price. It'd offer increased cooling, but if you ever bottomed out on it, high chances of cracking it open.

Failing all the above, welding up a steel, rectangular tank that fit under the machine seems annoying but do-able.

CalG: I gotta thank you. I have been looking all over the internet for an adapter I can fit onto a Kubota mid mount PTO. They seem to be very rare, which is surprising since it痴 Kubota. I knew it was about 1 with 10 splines but couldn稚 find anything except a sleeve that enlarges it to 1-3/8 with 6 splines.
I don稚 know very much about PTO shafts so I will call them in the morning to find out how I get the other parts for that universal joint. I need it to be for 1-1/4 keyed shafting on the other side.
Thanks again.
