Just got off the phone with a Kubota dealer and it's going to take the rest of the day to get over the shock.

V2203 parts list and dealer price



Oil pan $301.00
Gasket $50.43
Dipstick tube $70.27
Dipstick $20.42

At those prices I'll fabricate my own.

The good part is that the hole for the dipstick tube has not yet been drilled into the engine block. I can use any junkyard tube.
