Kubota manuals needed

[Jeff Chase]

Help, I'm at my wits end!
I have an older model (late 80's) Kubota excavator, model KH 65 SRX and I'm looking for ANY manuals at all for this thing. Runs great, low hours, no issues other than there are no owners manuals, shop manuals, service manuals, repair manuals, etc.
I've tried Amazon, Ebay, dozens of websites from Google and Duck Duck Go.
Even Kubota has no record of this model!
Does anyone know of a good source for ancient manuscripts?

Sometimes the KH65 is listed under slightly different numbers in other markets, so a dealer with access to the Japanese catalog can point you in the right direction. Worst case, a shop manual for the closest KH series machine will get you 90% of the way there

Yh I agree with @Fintilla and sometimes the KH series manuals from nearby model years will cover 90% of what you need, so even a slightly different KH manual can be really useful

You might want to reach out to Kubota dealers directly since sometimes the older technicians have extra copies tucked away. Also, equipment rental businesses that deal with vintage Kubota machinery could be useful. The KH-65 was indeed a real model, so those manuals must be out there somewhere. Don't forget to get in touch with Kubota's corporate parts department using your serial number, they occasionally have archived documents that local dealers may not have access to.

hi jeff, even if you can't find a manual for the whole excavator, you can usually find one for the engine (like a Kubota D series). That will cover a huge portion of the service and repair work you'd need to do

The KH 65 SRX is a gray market machine that was never officially sold by Kubota in North America, that's why Kubota USA doesn't have any record of it.
You might get lucky looking for manuals from the UK or Europe as that's where a lot of these older models ended up.
Try searching for manuals for the Kubota KH 65 which is the official designation for that model.

Thanks for the tip. I just inherited a KH 65 SRX from my uncle who used it on his farm and I have been trying to figure out what parts cross over. Do you know if the KH 65 shares hydraulics or engine components with any North American models?
