3000-3200 would be nice if for nothing else an Oh No RPM range. As in get out of the way speed. But I am not sure if you can push the Kubota much over 3000 RPM even though I have seen 3000 RPM numbers for the Skid Steer. But look as I might I have not seen a Red Line RPM limit posted for the Kubota V2203 Engine.

 

I know redveloce is pushing 3500 if I remember right

 

3500 WOW Thats moving along

But I am sure it hurts in the MPG department.

 

Well adapters are supposed to be done tomorrow hopefully! So maybe by this weekend, I think these motors are probably making more like 140 or so but the torque should be really high. That's whats so good about these motors. got my turbo all cleaned up and in the middle of reassembly now I took some detailed sideways pictures!

 

Well I have a testament to how strong these motors Are. I was playing around in the woods today a started to ford a creek I have a few times before and. I forgot about the rain we have been getting. Water went over the hood befor I could stop and it was too muddy to back out . I made it al the way through and and out the other side I opened the hood and the air filter had completely collapsed in on itself. I left the truck running while I removed the filter and I noticed the exhaust was steaming. I reved it a little and it started to miss I pulled the cold side inter cooler line and water flowed out I reved it with the line disconnected and blew about half a gallon out. Put it back together drove the 5 miles home and its perfect Pulled the intercooler and dumped another 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon out.
That's real water injection who needs a pump

 

For a second there I thought you were going to say you turned the little Kubota 5000 RPM . But good to hear. The main thing is you did not let the engine die. Then you could have been in real trouble. But if you keep a Diesel running they will amaze you. I went through about the same thing in my 93 Freightshaker with a little 3408 Kitty Kat 13 Speed 4.10 gear back in 93. And it had No Governor That Truck would Run.

 

They don't recommend that in the manual you know? haha hopefully it wasn't to hot you could still do some damage by the quick cool down of all the parts. glad you made it out though

 

Thank You for that information Rangmar. I went and picked up the Fram 3976A this evening. But I have no idea what the A stands for? And I removed the part that puts the oil filter along side the engine and moved it to the front. I will say this those machined parts on the Kubota are sure nice.

Sorry what I meant was please let us know what spring to get to achieve the 3000-3200 RPM of the Kubota?

 

Just wanted some input on what you all think the adapters are worth, a lot of people around here are saying 100 but that seems a little steep to me. Now of course I know you guys want the cheapest price possible. But id appreciate some honest input. Still not quite down maybe by this evening. They are one piece precision machined and will come pre drilled and tapped for an EGT gauge.

 

I actually think FTE is right. As I also feel 100-130 HP and 250-300 LB's TQ.
