But I will have an Oil Pressure Gauge.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Well today I got the Isuzu Alternator/Vacuum Pump Combo in and I have to say it is HEAVY. But has anyone looked at the AMPS to RPM ratio? It seems as if we may have to either use a larger diameter pulley on the main drive or find a smaller pulley for the Alternator/Vacuum Pump? But I guess it all depends on your demands for AMPS. :)

Before someone asks. :) At our RPM Ranges of between 1000-2500 the amps go from 10 - 45. Or a Breakdown would be at 1000 RPM 10 AMPS at 1600 RPM 25 AMPS and at 2500 RPM 45 AMPS but at all RPM Ranges the Volts are 13.5.

I have this fail safe in addition to a guage, and glad I had it! On the amp question, you have to remember that our demand has dropped alot by eliminating the ECU, fuel pump etc, so none of us has had any issue that I know of.

FTE Thank You I just felt I should bring up the information. Like IDI VS DI but it seems as if it was a waste of the forums band width. But FTE and I talked about this subject before and UsedKubotaMan was also talking about it and I just ran across the information. :)

I also received my gift box from Sam ( Leonard's Diesel ) this evening. So now that I have a few parts such as well the Oil Pan. :). I hope to get started on this thing in a couple of days.

But the first thing I will tackle is to get the adapter mounted to take a measurement for the amount of flywheel removal that needs to be done. And while I throw the Flywheel at the next door neighbor to get done. ( He Does Not Know this yet. :). I am going to attempt to replace the rear main seals on the little Kubota. But Sam informed me that there were no less than 3 revisions on the rear bearing cover plate. So we are not sure if the gaskets he has will fit or not. But if they do not then he has the updated cover for $40.00. And Nope Sam does not know why the updated the rear cover.

FTE by the way if this works out as well for myself as it did for you then I think I may have a few ideas for an updated Kubota V2203. I was just now trying to find information on the Piston Oil Sprayers. As in if it can be done or if it should be done?

And you know me just a bit. :). I was thinking about either ROSS or Arias Diesel Forged Pistons with tool steel wrist pins and polished and shot pined Rods with better Rod Bolts along with Knife Edging the crankshaft and to relieve all sharp edges along with a good balance job with ARP Head Studs. But Not Sure. :)

I also had a Birdie in my ear about De-stroking the Kubota just a bit to increase it's RPM Range a bit and reduce the rotational mass. But nobody has a Crank Shaft for doing such a thing. And these days to Weld up the Crankshaft rod journals and re-grind to a shorter stroke would probably be prohibitively expensive. But I Digress as I awake. :)

There was a guy somewhere on "orangetractortalks"? that added piston oil squirters I think to a 3cyl. not sure of his results. Can you find another crank from a different dash # Kubota that will de-stroke????
I too am waiting to see the results of the dyno? Who was going to do that?
Off I go, 30 days in the hole; so to speak for me. I think we have internet but not sure till I get there

yall have fun

Just an FYI.

Well I just got a reply from ROSS And they State We do not have any forgings that will work with the small bore diesels. As for ARIES I have not contacted them as of yet. But they have nothing listed on there site. Oh Well I Guess Stock will work fine.

No need to reinvent the wheel imo.

JesterGrin_1 12-06-2013 03:00 AM

FTE it looks as though that is exactly what I will be doing. :)

But I think in the end I will wish I started with a Ranger. :scare2: But I will be darned if I can not find a decent deal on one down in these parts.

And it looks as though I have been put off for a couple of days as we are just not really equipped down here for Cold as it is a rarity. :) So Please Turn that fan down a bit.
