I could easily cut down the factory 13 inch wide bucket to as little as 6 or 7 inches if I wanted to, down to the width of the attaching points. I have been digging around a lot lately by hand and it sucks, but the soil is very sandy. So a 13 bucket would probably work well until I run into...

The RHB31 series is only like a 25mm compressor. Which is pretty small.

I started looking up compressor maps and specs for the other turbo after I got to thinking a 52mm turbo is a little too big. Well the T15 is only slightly smaller than the k03. So RHB31 it is. The k03 and T15 would do well on the big 2200cc 4 cylinder engines.

If the K03 ia way too big another turbo I might try besides the T15 is Vz21 and RHB31 series turbo.

Thank you Looks like it's a 400w heater, which should be plenty. I will yank out a freeze plug too and see if I can get a normal 600 watt heater in there, if I can find one the right size. The coolant jacket probably isn't deep enough would be my guess.

What engine block heater is used on the old 2 cylinder 700cc engines? When I flush the cooling system during "tractor in the garage season" I figure that would be the best time to install one. Only reason I would use the tractor when it's that cold is when it snows a lot. It also gets down to...

I always use fuel injection line when ever possible. For small 1/8 inch return I use hatz diesel injector return. I found the clear poly stuff will harden and break over time and I have never had it exposed to sun light so don't know how much that will shorten it's life. It will also quickly...

The batt wire is burned up and I'm still planning on adding additional lights, my portable winch, using my xantrax 2000w pure sine wave power inverter, sprayer and so on, I'm pretty sure the battery is shot too. So it will also be getting a bigger battery, new starter wiring. Yeah still...

This stump is half rotted already. If it proves too much I will see about having a stump grinding outfit take care of if. It should be pretty easy for them if I dig all around the stump and cut it off at dirt level. If it were away from the house if would be gone in a flash. 7gpm is a pretty...

I have thought about renting the ditch witch from the local rental place to do the well pipe line. Since it could probably do that in a day easy seeing how it digs a much narrower trench and that's all it does is dig a narrow trench, I'm assuming it's pretty efficient. If I do get the harbor...

I couldn't help but notice back hoe attachments for a 3 point compact tractor run $3,600 to $4,500. I was wondering if anyone thinks it could be worth it to buy the harbor freight towable back hoe and adapt it to a 3 point. The biggest thing lacking is out riggers and a PTO driven hydraulic...

I actually thought I would use this K03 turbo on a 900cc 3cyl 6.5kw continous duty kubota generator. But not to get more power out of it, but to increase fuel economy, try to get fuel consumption from .33 gallons per hour at a 2kw load down to about .25 gallons per hour at 2kw load. Looking...

I'm pretty amazing at fabricating stainless. The fabricating part is easy for me. I put a T76 from a Detroit series 60 11.1L that was used in a huge mobile air conditioner that would run at 400hp+ sustained for hours on end on a 6.5L diesel before and it works great. I was told it wouldn't...

The little L185DT struggles a little in the thin air here. That 18hp you get at sea level is more like 14hp here. I have a VW K03 turbo and a saab intercooler collecting dust. The K03 is pretty big, but I'm sure it could develop a few pounds of boost while running the PTO. The stock K03 is waste...

I found the main alt wire had rubbed through and was arcing. The alternator power just isn't getting to the batt lol.

One good thing about the old SI serries alternators is they are wye wound. They don't put out as many amps as they could for their size but they have a low cut in voltage.

I think the L185 series uses a little 3/8 belt. Actually I think all kubota diesels I have worked on, 90s stuff 2 and 3 cyl, all had 3/8 belts too. I think I have a 3/8 pulley for a GM alt in my pulley collection.

I'm buying my friends L185DT tractor. The only issue with it he has ever mentioned is after the 5 or 6 years he's had it just recently developed a problem where "the starter is killing the battery". He replaced the battery, then the starter and says the new starter is now bad, because it won't...
