Aftermarket – New parts made by an alternative manufacturer which are normally almost identical to manufcaturers parts, but often considerably cheaper.

Manufacturer parts – Specific parts made by Kubota, often referred to as OEM Parts, often normally required to be fitted to comply with terms of any warranty in place.

Salvage Parts – used parts that are normally taken from a used rtv that either no longer works, or has run its lifetime, but certain parts are still useable.
