I know this is old news, but $540 for a tie rod and $80 for a hub oil seal?!? I'm going to have to roll the dice in the aftermarket.
I don't yet know of an aftermarket source for Kubota parts. What I do is look up the part number on a parts diagram and then do a google search for that number. Surprising how often that works. It often leads to someone on Ebay.I have 2 older Ford tractors and I use aftermarket parts often. I am careful not to buy any that are "too cheap", and I usually get pretty good parts. Several times they come from Amazon and other times from Steiner or Tisco Tractor Parts or other stores. I look for the better price and shipping costs when I buy.

You got me thinking that someday our Kubota will be an older tractor like our old JDs and Fords are now. I hope when that day comes that we can get good aftermarket replacement parts for our Kubota like we can today for the older US tractors.
A person can pretty much rebuild everything that wears out on an old American made tractor from aftermarket sources. All the parts I've ordered so far have been good quality.
