LB1714 or LB1914 Rocker Arm Support

DunbarDave · Feb 10, 2023

I am looking for a replacement rocker arm support for my LB1714. Not available through my Kioti dealer so searching for a new or used item. This cast aluminum part seems to be prone to cracking/breaking. The part # is E5205-14351.
I have found a used support but it is showing signs of cracking so concerned of another breakdown. (See pic)

My understanding is that Daedong made those engines to be disposable. I also heard they use them in refer trucks/trailers. Might want to look there.

Also read something about Kubota engines being a swap. maybe

Thanks for your response. Somewhat unsettling to think that Kioti hasn't maintained a supply line for older equipment. I have spoken with the local Kubota dealer to see if the might have a similar support, but no luck. Kioti and Kubota had a very thin link at their beginnings but then each went their own way.
