There was a fender change-up on that L5450DT that occured at Serial # 60315. The newer version fender is on tractors numbered 60315 and higher and will fit the older serial numbered L5450.

The early fenders will not fit the later versions without bangin’ tin and drillin’ holes!

New fenders are part # 32590-29133RH and 32590-29213LH, priced at $925USD each. They are current production and available.

Good news is the fenders are shared with the L4350DT and L4850DT, so you have a few more models to source parts from.

Serial number 60007 on the L4350 is the newer version that you’re looking for, but given the expense of the new ones, I’m sure you’ll find a way to make them work.

A few years ago we had to modify a set of rear fenders from a Kubota L225 in order to get them to work on an L1511 eary Hydrostatic JDM tractor. With a little work from a grinding disc, some “farmer” mig welding, and a little rattle can painting, they looked and fit awesome!

Control linkages are also current production parts. There are very few items available in the aftermarket for Kubota tractors. A few radiators and alternators makes up the big list.

We’re dealing with this same issue on other posts on this site, make sure to check them out. Nicky has a problem with these gears on his B7000 and you’re working on the B7001!

My parts info has those gears as follows: 66711-14791 (original part number, later changed to 66711-14790 and futher identified as item # 26 in factory parts manual), this spur gear has 18 external teeth. The B7100 lists that gear as having 18 external teeth as well, part # 66711-14790 but it indicates a serial number change at 45295.

Below this production number, the part number for the gear is 66711-14790, above serial # 45296, the spur gear part # becomes, 66706-14530. They are not interchangeable, which may be due to the thickness of the different gears.

#66706-14530 is still available from Kubota, my Canadian parts reference puts it around $60 bucks, BUT, it comes up in the current online parts look up as having 17 teeth. This may be a misprint in the online parts system, the printed factory material still shows 18 external teeth,

The other spur gear, is identified as item # 20 in the original B7001 parts manual having 17 external teeth and original part # 66711-14531, later changed to 66711-14530.

Kubota has now updated this part to # 66704-84900, calling it a complete PTO shaft kit, upped the price to $628, and then made the part n.l.a, or no longer available!!

BUT, part of the fun in working on gray market tractors is keeping a list of real good parts sources, and I’ll pass this one on to you.

Go to this site: http://en.yenibiz.com/achat/index_catid_20_start_182.html

The 17 gear spur lists at $ 136.00, the 18 gear spur is $208.00. You’re going to pay some shipping, but this is the only supplier I know of that has aftermarket Kubota PTO parts.

Hope this helps!
