Kubota owner : I have a G1800 riding mower and a L185DT tractor

I'm a tractor nut: I have owned many many. Used to work on them commercially for retail. So retired and bought and sold ones i repaired.

I too have a G1800. I don't have the pto kit Ither! It won't work using the Canadian Berco on the existing coupler / PTO. Kubota used the same spine as drives the mower gear box. It is 11 spline and metric. Just under 1 inch I'm quite sure. If you remove the front pully off the g1800 and make a plate that fit the four bolts? Then centerbored and found a stub shaft from a shaft driven berco it could be done that way. Cheaper would be a rubber coupler and extend the shaft through the front frame plate and match the shaft that way using a pillow block bearing to idle the shaft extension. It would make coupling the blower much easier. There isn't enough room under the g188's battery to hook up the shaft anyway. If you need any more help write me? p.s. the coupler kit from kubota went from $13?.?? to about $190.00 just last year. Ther are two of them in the Texas wharehouse. # 66101-82500 pto kit:
