Looks great I’m looking to do the same thing soon she needs a turbo now 😂if I did it’s real easy to adjust the fuel air mixture on those

[@frios011]

Great job so far. 👍

[@getonlygotonly]

you can send me that Onan, technology perfected before you were born.

[@TheHomePros6221]

Nice fab work

If the fuel system for the Kubota uses a return line to the tank, go buy a used John Deere 332 fuel tank which is set up for that. These old fiberglass hoods can be easily repaired. I fix mine with a Bondo fiberglass kit from Walmart, it works great.

No need just drill a hole and install a bung in old tank

I'm think I'm going to try to put a Kubota d600 in my 420 john deere. Thanks for the tips
