Does anyone know where I'd be able to find parts or an entire kit for this tractor. I tried to find them online and in Steiner's catalog but was unsuccessful.

yeah the engine is a Yanmar, but its a Deere. I dont know who or what Hoye is?
I'm referring to the actual arms not any hydraulic parts.

Take a look for a manufacturer's tag on the machine. I think you'll find that the entire tractor is made by Yanmar, not just the engine. Yanmar had a long history of building SCUT's and CUT's for Deere, and I'm pretty sure that model is one made entirely by Yanmar. So Hoye, is a dealer in Texas I believe that specializes in Grey Market Yanmar parts and support. And due to some crossover with many Deere models also has access to some Yanmar/Deere parts. Aaron from Hoye is a sponsor on this site and is very helpful. If you reach out to him on his website (he's very good about monitoring his messages) he might be able to find a Yanmar model that he supports that has the same 3 point pieces and parts and hook you up. Worth a try.

Thanks for the referral Andy! I talked to Hoye's and they explained some things that made ordering a lot easier. Essentially I called JD and got all the sizes for the parts and relayed that info to them and they put together a package that'll work for my tractor.

Yeah I ordered from Hoye yesterday and he was able to locate almost the exact size parts that were originally on the tractor.
