Parts Sources

[smokyjoe]

I may be adding a Kubota 3 cyl. (stuck, not running), a non-running Petter? 2 cyl. water pump and a good running Lombardini single to my garage, the Lombi for my little tractor, the Kubota for a (hopefully soon) future bike, and the Petter I will use as it was intended. Still working on the Hatzuki, but slowly, gotta work to make money to pay for all this stuff!

I (like probably many others) am looking for good sources of new (and used) parts for these little diesels. I would have to get a second mortgage on the house to have the money to get parts from the local Kubota dealer. I don't know why the parts are so expensive, I guess that the engines are so good that they rarely break or wear out!

Are there any "discount" parts suppliers out there, besides trying my luck on eBay? I'm in the US, but am open to any suggestions from anywhere.

I'm really inspired with the number of builds and finished bikes posted here, I hope to get the Hatzuki done over the winter and start on the next one.

Thanks!
