HELP !! 1968 Kubota L245DT Parts

[dec4trax]

Do any of you vintage iron owners know where I can find parts for a 1968 Kubota 25HP KUFD210 / L245DT Tractor Dozer ?
The Tractor Badge says it was built in Osaka, Japan and entered the US through the Port of Compton, California
The Plow badge says it was manufactured by ARPS Division of Chromalloy, New Holstein, Wisconsin.
It still runs... but after many years of minimal use and maintenance by previous owner, it is ready for some repairs and in need of some parts.
I have searched locally, and my local Kubota dealer says they cannot get any parts for this machine and are unable to cross-reference.
Tractor junk yards I have visited...nobody has ever seen this model. It is old and very unique.
If anyone else has a similar tractor and is having the same challenge, or knows where I can find discontinued tractor parts, please share with the group.
Thanks!!

Have you tried searching parts at messicks.com? They are a large dealer in Pennsylvania that sells online (other dealers use the same parts system and should be able to get parts also). They are showing all the parts diagrams for the L245 and seem to have many items in stock.

Sounds more like the dealer you talked to couldn't be bothered or something.

ARPS is now Amerequip.

Thank you Grandad4 and RickB.
I live in PA and will be giving Messicks a call. They are only 50 miles away, so that is a stone throw for getting parts.
I had no idea that ARPS is now Ameriquip. Ameriquip made a lot of the implements for my Mahindra and their products are stout and well built. I need a linkage for the dozer blade so hopefully they have something for me.
I appreciate you guys taking some time and posting to this thread.
Thanks!!

Public Surplus has a 1977 L245DT up for auction. 5 days left to go! Current price as of this posting is $360
Said it last ran 2 years ago, selling because they can't get parts. Location - Rocklin, CA
You'd have to make an account with them if you don't already have one.
