I have a T1400H and have avoided most big repair bills through the years (I bought used in 1993 and have kept up around 12,000sqft of lawn with landscaping and burms..as well as periodic mowing of a couple of acres of pasture, when I've lacked animal grazers). Normal repair and maintenence items have been purchased: belts, blades, airfilter, batteries and the mower bags are what I've had to replace..usually a little pricier than most brands. Right now, I'm dealing with an expensive fix to a 25 year old mower deck...this to replace one of the bearing and blade assemblies..just under $300...the deck itself would be over $1600. Can't justify for a 25 year old mower...even though it's paid for itself over the last two decades. The logistics of how I've acquired parts and some advice? I have used the blow-up specifications to work over the phone or email with the Idaho dealer. They've been quite helpful even though I've not been their most profitable customer with such a small tractor.
So I assume that would be normal, as there are just too few small Kubota's sold out there. >> Hope this helps.
