What the heck is this?

Mine got bent the same way. I figure now I don't have to crawl under the tractor to drain water out of the clutch housing, because the little petcock doesn't seal any more.

Exactly, all three of mine look like the OPs and have been that way for years, not a problem.

Quebeker...We have similar tractors...mine's an L3830. I have been thinking of doing that.

A few questions...what metal thickness is the plate, what attachment points did the installer use? I would sure like to see some pics. Maybe starting another post, (so we don't hijack Triple's post), if you feel like showing some. I know there's a lot of interest in such with our Kubotas. I know JD has a pan package add on for some of their tractors, but not Kubota, (that I know of). I have torn off the hyd filter and done other damage from limbs. Not fun. And it's not fun being paranoid all the time with limbs around.

I'll try to take some pictures and I will start a new post with it.
It might take a couple of weeks since I have to remove the skid plate to do some minor modifications.
Since it weight near 100 lbs, and it's not easy to put on and off, I don't do it for fun.
I'll give as much technical details as possible along with the pictures.

Thank you Quebeker. I know there is a lot of interest in skid plates and I have been thinking of fabbing one up.
