[AT] Kubota M5700 noise

Tue Aug 11 13:20:40 PDT 2020

Dave,

Go to the antique-tractor.com website and you’ll find a list of salvage yards. As indicated once before, the list has not been updated for some time. However, you can still use it to call around in your area and maybe find someone who might have the manifold. Check the websites for the yards to see if their phone numbers have changed or if they’re still in business.

Does anyone know of some tractor scrapyard? Having a hard time finding an
exhaust manifold for this Kubota M5700. It seems the only one they used
this engine and they dont use it anymore. I appreciate any help you can
give me
