If you have a CT450 tractor and are having a tough time finding parts, I have figured out my cabbed CT450 is essentially a re-badged Kioti DK45SE tractor.
It seems the folks at Kioti are much more helpful when trying to cross reference parts look up for me.
I have found that Michigan Iron & Equipment (a Kioti parts vendor) to be extremely helpful in matching or at least finding the current replacement parts for the discontinued Kioti (and therefore Bobcat) parts.
For instance, I needed to replace the fuel gauge sending unit in my CT450 but could only find that the dealers and other vendors no longer could locate the actual Bobcat listed part number.
After talking to the Kioti use forum folks, I got the appropriate Kioti part number only to discover the said part was also no longer available.
I contacted Michigan Iron & Equipment and they had a listing for a suitable replacement part (in stock) which worked fine in my Bobcat. Much better price too than paying for a "Bobcat" branded part which in fact, is the exact same part as a Kioti part.
Just FYI in case you are running into dead-end alley looking for parts for your CT450.
