Take a deep breath there Sam. Thank you for going the extra mile to help someone out. Having said that, Green is pretty good about parts but Kubota leaves a lot to be desired. We replaced a leaking head gasket on a older tractor--before they were called compacts. I had never seen anything like it, it was a 2 or 3 piece affair. It took forever to get the right parts, Kubota's parts books couldn't tell us whether to use a 1 or 2 pc gasket, none of the dealers here in NC had a clue--I think we had trouble ordering what was originally in it and no notes if anything was superceded--I don't remember all the details, this was 10 years ago. I finally talked to the regional service guys with Kubota and got their best guess. I ordered the parts from Messicks---at least their parts department cared. The knuckleheads at C&D up your way were useless to put it politely--and they gave up Case-IH to go all Kubota.
Everyone makes a lemon now and again, it would be nice if they would just own up to it.
