Same thing happened to me a few years ago. Bought the pump from Universal Dealer only to find out that you can buy it from a Kubota Dealer for less than half the cost. Do a search and you will find the Kubota part number.

Joe : Go to your Kubota dealer and get a pump for a B7200 tractor engine + gasket.  You'll get it at more than 1/2 the price as Universal.  A thought

If you havent yet purchased a new pump.

On our delivery voyage we lost the circulating pump. The best deal we found was from EDI Distributors
Call them at 1 800 220 7080  edi-dist.com
The price was under $100 and we had the part the next day.

i checked a marine diesel dealer price $305. i got the pump from a local kubota dealer. price $ 170. next time your suggestion will be my first look.

A good source for Kubota parts is: tractorsmart.com

They have a good website and ordering is easy with fast shipment. They show this pump (P/N 15443-73030) for $119!
