I wonder if those mirrors would thread into the stems we all have? Do you know the thread size and pitch?

No I do not..

Coobie, that is now my favorite so far. Are all those parts from Grote?

Yes sir...BUT they seem to sell out fast as I think they are a older item..

I have Grote catalogs here too because I used a lot of their products when I had my big trucks.

Well I just got home from dealer with my Kubota mirrors. I'll report back later if I hate them or not, LOL

Well got them on. I now see what you were all talking about. They aren't real good for rear view, they point down wards even with the mirrors at their limit. I still need the interior mirror for that when roading.
But they will serve my purpose of only needing them on for side view when snow plowing.

I went for a ride and they never moved out of adjustment, but they are still new. I don't like the looks of the cheap plastic that the mirror head ball is clamped with though.

If they do fail, I'll just weld nuts on the ends of those arms and buy two Grote round convex mirrors.

Same issue I had with factory Kubota mirrors after time they DO NOT stay in place when shutting the doors..Then when you try to tighten them the cheap plastic cracks.

I'll probably take them back off and just keep them for winter when I start plowing my driveway.

They would never survive on my trail rides anyway.

Hello all. haven't been here in a while. Been busy and haven't even had much Kubota time. My son has been doing all the snow removal here.

My mirrors were still trouble free. Never even go out of adjustment. But my son went and hit one on one of our buildings and shattered the glass.
So called Kubota dealer. They said Kubota has none on stock and 900 on order.

So I got tired of waiting, so I went to Traction Heavy Duty Parts to see if I could get a set of Grote's that would screw in to the stock Kubota arms.
Well they had their own house brand but worked out perfect. They look kinda goofy compared to the Kubota mirrors, but they have 4 times the viewing area and because of how I had to use the bracket that came with them, it lowers them so they are now fully under the door windows, so there is no obstruction now. I can now see right down both sides plus a huge area behind.
Plus they will be stronger than the stock plastic ones.
