Very cool I am thinking about doing a 3 cylinder kubota in my max 4 in the next few weeks where did you get the shaft to bolt the clutch to the fly wheel? The 4 cylinder is going to be a torque monster in there but are you gonna do a electric fan and put the radiator under the seat or something also I was concerned with that much weight up that high in the tub I was considering moving the front seat back a getting rid of the rear seat and sit the engine low in front of the t20 but I didn't know about finding a drive belt long enough for that set up either plus having 4 seats is cool especially with diesel power and a smoke stack like a dodge lol

not to concerned about the weight recreatives does it with motors that weigh about the same as this one plus i wanted to keep the back seat for duck season i made the shaft that bolts onto the flywheel i have a lathe and mill at work so its fairly easy no i have to try and find a belt for it

Very cool Shawn... Which engine is that, a 1305, or bigger? The 1505 is about 250 pounds dry (and no radiator, exhaust, stub shaft, clutch) so yours must be a smaller unit because.... man..... I can't think of anything RI puts in there that weighs anywhere near that.

Cool install so far.... I've been Jonesin' for pictures...

mine is only 800cc its a V800 about 170 lbs and my radiator and fan weight almost nothing their from a street bike

I cant seem to find a V800 on the Kabota site,,,I am fixing to do a D 1105 Turbo install ,,Ya gotta be carefull tho some of the engines are for constant speed only,,can you post a link of the data sheet on your 800

Wow your Max IV will certainly have enough power. I have been looking at putting a diesel in my Max Buffalo but limited with space. Looking forward to your end results.

You got me wondering if I can put a diesel in my conquest. Man that would rock.

it was very tough to find info on my engine i finally found a service manual and its in three different languages lol here is the spec sheet to my engine is the one in the middle V800-B

Out of curiosity, what was the engine out of? I've not seen a 4 cylinder Kubota with this displacement before.... Neat find!

[countrycummins99]

guy told me he was using it in a mower and for the hydro system its really tough to find anything about this motor and I have not found another one for sale either

[countrycummins99]

all plumbing done radiator and fan installed motor test runs just tie up some loose ends and install the gauges

Looks good in there, may want to point the exhaust away from you just for the waiting on the trail time. There are alot of Kubotas on sailboats.
