gray market kubota

[tdwarren]

Recently my husband bought this tractor. It is obviously a gray market model, because all the labels are Japanese. The man he bought it from said it is an L175. But, L175 is not listed on Kubota's website as a gray market model, and when he went to buy an oil filter ( at an auto parts store, since he knew a Kubota dealer probably wouldn't help him), the cartridge was WAY too big. They finally matched it for him, but had to order it from their supplier. My question is, does anybody know what the actual model # is or what American model this tractor compares to so we can find parts easier?
Thanks so much!

now that my friends is a good wife. Got on the internet and track down tractor part #'s for the Hubby.

Sorry I cannot help you but I am sure one of these folks on here will help you before it is over. It is a fountain of knowledge around here.

Good Luck finding out what you need to know

We just had one of these come into the shop. Our parts department said that Kubota still makes parts for the L175. It is just a very old Kubota.
