Would `self amalgamating` tape over the bad boot hold, until new ones are available.
I've got a feeling that this will turn into a long term fix. It sounds like a boot by itself will never be available. At least from Kubota. Maybe the aftermarket will address it some day. I'm not really losing sleep over it. The tractor has mainly residential yard work duty on my 2 acres and doesn't see any extreme service. I mow one acre with it. My wife knows how to operate it and she moves her own mulch when I buy it in bulk with the dump trailer.
Maybe some type of butyl tape like the kind sealing the hatch on my enclosed trailers would work too. Lot of options to check out before replacing a perfectly good ball joint with only 70 some hours on it.
