Got My Kubota D600 Running

[MudHog]

Fired up my Kubota D600 diesel engine over the weekend. Bleed the injectors and hot wired it to fire her off. She got some great throttle response and a high performance muffler (muffler has a rust hole in it, so it's "free flowing").

Now here is the kicker, I'm in search of a SAE 5 bellhousing with a 6-1/2" flywheel. If I can't find that, then I will have to go with a double bearing generator head and remote mount it from the engine.

Anybody got any contacts for a bellhousing?

I've tried my local Kubota dealer, but they didn't have anything available.

you are going to run a generator right?

most if not all kubotas have a place to bolt on a crankshaft pulley for a PTO.
I've got a lil 13.5hp 3cyl kubota with two ptos. (it was a lawnmower before the rear end blew)

one pto goes to the hydro tranny on mine, and the other is hooked to a double V belt pulley.
Since it was hydro, the fan on the pto seems like a good idea with a genny.
I was making this old mower into a jobsite generator, Air compressor on wheels

just a thought.
Otherwise, good luck on the bellhousing.

There is a yoke under the radiator that powered the hydro. equipment on the old mower. The rear of the engine (flywheel end) has a double v pulley and a electric clutch on the pulley.

The yoke in front turns at the same speed as the engine? I don't think it turns at 540 rpms like a normal PTO?

Worst case is I will mount the engine sideways and the gen head on side of the engine and run a double belt with pulleys, but a direct mount would be a little nicer.

I also found a guy in GA that has some 15KW gen heads that he would sell me for $150, but they are single bearing and need to be bolted to a bellhousing for use.
