What did you decide to do? I would be interested if that part number was correct. I have to start over with notes for the future.

Well I took a chance on ordering a different part number on ebay for $200 less. It appeared very similar in pictures but I received it today in the mail and no go. The shaft diameter was somewhat smaller so now I guess I will order the above from Kubota. My local dealer quoted me ~$340 and if it didn't happen to match I would be have to pay a shipping/restocking fee. His restocking fee was quite a bit cheaper than some of the online quotes I've seen.

More to come

That's more than my local dealer was willing to do. I feel like that is the correct one but think it would be good for others if the correct number was posted. I wish I had been a member back when I had to replace mine so I could have posted the number. We would not be wondering now.

Update: This Kubota steering sector part with matching part number for my Kioti LK354 is as a perfect match/fit. I put it in this evening as its a perfect match except the price! Kioti now wants about $800 for this and as the post above states I got it for less than half.

My steering is a little off as I got something out of time. I was careful (I thought) to find the half way point with the steering column shaft gears and slid the sector in but now it steers sharper to the right than to the left. Am I gear off in the steering box or is this something that I can adjust with the pitman arm on the splines of the shaft? The splines are very many so it would be easy to play with.

Alright!! Great news! I would just try to adjust the pitman arm. Is it hitting the stop on one side and not on the other? Of course doing it this way might make steering wheel a little off center when wheels are straight. But that would not bother me one bit. I would just work that thing now.

Thanks for your you help K5 by the way. Yeah its hitting the stops on the right side but not the left. Actually the steering wheel is already a little out of line so it may put correct when I adjust this pitman arm.

My pleasure, glad you got it going!

Just a quick note to those putting these back together. Adjusting just the pitman arm on the splines I could not get it to steer to the stops on one side or the other. I pulled the sector back from the steering box and realized I had it one tooth off. Once I put it back the way it should it steers to the stops on both sides no problem.
