perhaps no one knows why Kubota did not put temperature ports on their blocks - just like you don't know.

On the engines that never came with a temp gauge, you have to get creative and find a place on the cylinder head to tap into. I had a B5100D,
2 cylinder that also didn't come with a temp gauge. I looked at the top of the head and as I remember there was a small freeze plug on the top. I was going to pull it out and tap the head or I was going to buy a new replacement plug and have a fitting TIG welded to the plug to hold the temp sensor. I would reinstall the freeze plug and install the sender. I never got around to it because I sold it not long afterward.

People on here are very helpful. Don't be so impatient!! We don't sit in front of the computer just answering questions.

Here is a thread that may help you install a temp guage without a spot on the head or block.http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4145&highlight=hose
