Buying Advice Kubota 8950

[Wayne891]

Hello < I am Chasing a Kubota 8950 front nose cone if anyone has one for sale or knows where i can purchase one , thankyou

 

[sixdogs]

No on the front nose cone but I do have a front weight bracket, a few weights, parts manuals and new hydraulic and oil filters for sale since I sold my M8950.

 

[Wayne891]

thankyou for your reply , i dont need the weights etc just a nose cone because a stupid person [me] ran over it.

There are a lot of these tractors in salvage so check the bone yards in TX, OH, MI and WI. As well, I am near certain the M7950 and M6950 are the same grille shell and highly probable the M5950 and M4950 the same as well. Your part should not be a problem.
I get a publication in the mail that lits these salvage yards so if you don't find anything I'll take a look when a new issue comes in. What part of the country are you located? These things are helpful.

Hello Sixdogs, thankyou for your help , i am in Australia in a city called Cairns, it is a little hard for me to locate one here , if you could give me some web sites or clues what to search for it would be appreciated thankyou

 

[sixdogs]

OK, when my new magazine comes in that lists them i'll take a look and let you know. It would seem that shipping would be an issue for you.
Any chance you could pound out the one you have?
Are there any tractor salvage yards in Australia? Surely Kubota is well-represented there?

 

[Wayne891]

I have pounded on it , thats why i am chasing one lol , we do have a lot of Kubotas here but not many end up in salvage yards as they go forever, freight isnt that bad as long as you are not in a hurry , i priced and ordered a new one 2.5 years ago, thankyou for your time

Do you just need the square part that surrounds the grill or do you need the grill center as well?
Not vital but did you save any part numbers?
My magazine should come in tomorrow.

Hello Sixdogs,
I need the entire grill, i will explain what happened , a friend was helping me out, he checked the battery and didnt close it properly, it fell off which he didn't notice it, He felt a bump and reversed back too see what it was, he ran over it twice, in saying that, you can see why i need the complete grill, he did straighten it the best he could which wasn't bad considering it was nearly flat. I now have a safety chain on it , i can get some part numbers for you .thanks again

Try these for starters. Send an e-mail and if they don't have it ask if they know who does. Don't just searh on-line, send an email. Remember, i'm near certain other models used the same sheet metal parts. Dig around and bird dog it.

Hello Sixdogs ,
your blood is worth bottling, thankyou very much and wish me luck , i will let you know how i get on. Wayne

 

[sixdogs]

Good luck. Flip the right rock and you'll find one. Keep us posted on how you make out and photos always welcome.

 

[sixdogs]

So how is the search going? Any results or good leads?

 

[Wayne891]

haven't had much luck at this stage , i just haven't flipped the right rock .

Try an email to Yoder and Frey in Ohio.
They are an auction house and not a salvage yard but they are smart people and can maybe steer you to a salvage yard.
Keep me updated.

 

[Wayne891]

Hello Six dogs,
I have flipped about 20 rocks , sent them all an email.
Lets just wait and see if i have found one. wow , you have a lot of salvage yards there.

 

[sixdogs]

If you persue it, you will find one. I'll also keep my eyes open for an ad that lists that model. I know they are out there since I have seen the model listed before.
You should verify which models have the same part. It's the M8950 but I'm near certain the M7950,M6950, M5950 (can't rememebr if this is a model or not) and M4950 are the same.

How did your search work out? Find anything?

How did your search work out? Find anything?

Hello Six dogs , I still haven't found one thankyou for asking , i think it would have been easier to make one lol, i must have looked on most web sites, i wont give up just yet.

Look harder. Read my earlier posts on the various models that are probably the same and call the junkyards in Ohio and MI or WI. I see lots of 8950's, etc that are one step away from the boneyard so I am nearly 100% certain you can find what you want if you look hard enough. I'll try to keep a lookout for you but how prohibitive is it to ship to where you live? I recall you are in Australia?
