L3130 fender options

[reelman]

I have a 2005 (or so) L3130HST that has been used for a lot of snow removal. Unfortunately that included some road travel on very salted roads. That is no longer a requirement of this tractor, so I'd like to replace the rusted off fenders. OEM are like $1300 each. Doesn't seem to make sense to spend almost $3000 baed on what it's worth. Haven't found any after market fenders specifically for Kubota, or any other, so apparently it's a rare problem. I don't care that it won't look original, but yes of course I'll paint orange! Just need something for a mounting handle and the lights. Open to ideas if anyone has any. Thanks!

Try a tractor salvage yard. Plenty listed on the web.

Find a local welding shop to copy yours.

Lots cheaper from a tractor salvage outfit.

I have contacted many salvage yards, with no success. According to one vendor, fenders are one of the first things to go.
