Those Kubota are some really good engines, I just installed one in a welder to replace the wore out Continental motor. Thanks for the video only way I seen someone do this was removing the head.

+welderman27 Yep good basic little motors alright. Just how marine diesels should be.
Thanks for the comment.

4:33 nice bump on the head. you remind me of my Dad he was always hitting his head on things and wore the same sort of glasses aswell haha

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Probably the same vintage.

I'm surprised how cheap the housing and thermostat was, I would've thought they'd be considerably dearer

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Gotta love Kubotas dude. and you can get parts everywhere.

Thanks for video now what's the top housing on the engine called I allways thought that was the thermostat housing.

You may be referring to the tappet cover.

Good job! Were you a mechanic by profession, Norm?

+Rob de Richemont Not trained Rob. Just picked it up from tinkering. I love knowing how things work. If you know how something operates. it is pretty easy to fault find and repair.
