Default Kubota Conversion Parts- What do you want?

Kubota Conversion Parts- What do you want?

I Want to make converting to a kubota easier for everyone.

I have a couple projects on the burner right now with the kubota.
As you all know I have an adapter for a small block chevy type transmission, auto or manual.
and slowly working on a ford adapters. Along with many others.

I want to know what you all think would be a most helpful.

Here are a couple ideas I am working on.

1. Blank front accessory plate 1/4" steel- This will have all the Kubota mounting points with spacers and hardware for mounting.
You would have to lay out all your accesories and cut/ drill/ tap holes for whatever you wanted to run.

2. Custom Crank pulley- would have notches for a tach sensor with sensor bracket, single or dual v-belt or serpentine belt

3. Blank adapter plates- made from a variety of thicknesses options. .75", 1.0" or 1.25" thick. These would be for stock starter and flywheel.
You would lay out your transmission and have to have your flywheel turned to desired thickness.

3a. Custom pilot bearing to fit into the kubota crank, this would be a special order item depending on you transmission choice.

4. Header- Tubular header running 1.25 OD mandrel bent tubing. Currently making a Low center mount manifold.
Position and turbo flange would depend on your setup. I will build a fixture to do a variety of positions.

4a. Header flange only- made from .375 thick steel.

5. Basic motor mount plates

6. Oil pan Kit- complete kit to make a front/rear sump oil pan. a couple options would be available.
this would include a new mounting rail and oil drian ports etc. Fully welded or weld yourself.

These are all things I am working on. Some are farther along then others. Most I am building for my conversion.

If there are any ideas of other items you would like to see available please share them.


Thanks,
Ken

Accessory plate would be helpful especially pre drilled for the Kubota. Motor mounts would be handy too

accessory plate is in the works but it will be blank, only having the kubota mounting, spacers and hardware.

Motor mounts are kind of hard without a vehicle in front of me to make each and every set for.

I will gladly make a set for anyone who wants to provide some sort of drawings with dimensions.
