Your local diesel pump shop will love you. 😄 Man that engine starts and runs well! Crazy the amount of work 20 hp and less than 100 ft lb of torque actually can do.

And the injector return path is interesting, is that correct or should it T to the tank from the pump in normal installation?

Yeah most have 2 in line filters. 1 is the minimum !

@@karlfischer1011 mine is like this........one side feeds back to the pump and the other runs to the tank. I guess that helps if it's starving for fuel is why they run 1 back to the pump. I actually never noticed and had to go look.

[@johncollinsgrove1750]

If you find that you need a lower gear ratio for 5th gear it is an easy swap to replace 5th gear from a single cam trans. Single cam 5th gear will lower rpms at same speed. The cover on the end of the trans houses 5th gear and is a quick swap. I have done this to gain better mpg in the past. Just be sure to replace the set of gears on both shafts and use the syncros on the single cam gear set. Basically just swap everything inside the end housing. The sound is fine and wish you a speedy recovery.

[@802Garage]

Oooh now that's a good tip.

[@tsd560ti6]

Its fortunate, that most 5-speeds have only two bearings per shaft and the fifth so easily accessible. I think Toyota also builds a transverse six-speed box (EC6X) with the last two gears facing the end of the shaft. VWs, in contrast, have a third bearing at the end of the shaft.

[@Whistler42]

If it’s got glow plugs it’s an indirect injection motor not a direct injection. With a indirect there is a small chamber to the side of the combustion chamber where the injector sprays and the glow plug heats for cold start. As a result of this extra chamber the head is weaker on a indirect injection diesel and the compression has to be lower as a result. With modern direct injection motors they bumped the compression up causing more heat on startup and that’s why direct injection don’t need/use glow plugs.

[@busterscrugs]

[@jasonburguess]

You should just leave the diesel at idle, run a 20kw generator from its output, then an electric motor to the transmission, this will increase mpg, and extend the life if the diesel dramatically, while giving you a straight line torque curve for the transmission input.

[@TonyLing]

How is that going to improve performance? You will take a 40% efficiency hit straight away.

[@reverse_engineered]

@@TonyLing Where do you get 40% efficiency hit?

[@TonyLing]

@@reverse_engineered I just pulled it out of my arse. If you convert mechanical energy into electricity, and then electricity back into mechanical energy, be prepared to expect at least a 40% loss in efficiency.

[@alflyover4413]

20 kW is 26.8 hp. The engine only makes 20 hp, and that's at 3600 RPM.

[@jasonburguess]

It only takes 5hp to go 65mph, but not requires a straight line torque curve not a bell curve offered by the engine. Also, an engine at idle speed 1000-2000rpm uses less than half the fuel consumption of an engine with variable rpms and constantly changing torque output. That's why freight trains use the exact same principles to achieve better fuel economy.

[@ouch1011]

A quick correction: not all diesels are direct injection. In fact, most automotive diesels (in the US) older than about 1995 are not direct injection. They’re indirect injection, or IDI. The concept is similar, but rather than injecting the fuel directly into the cylinder, they inject the fuel into a small “combustion chamber” that is built into the cylinder head and separate from the cylinder, which is also usually where the glow plug is. It’s also typically injected via a poppet valve at a much, much lower fixed pressure than a direct injection diesel (5000psi vs 25,000psi on a direct injection). Since this Kubota is a small, non-turbo industrial engine that isn’t subject to typical automotive emissions requirements, I’d be willing to bet that it is IDI as well, not DI.

[@ShainAndrews]

You realize you can literally look up the engine specs? Why keep going on about direct vs indirect? It's a tier IV emissions engine. All engines have emissions standards no matter the application. Injection pressure has nothing to do with direct vs indirect.

[@robotcantina8957]

My bad, I have owned a few semi vintage Mercedes with the OM60x engines and I'm aware of the prechamber stuff. What I meant by direct injection was the fuel is injected on the other side of the intake valve

[@merchantman5635]

@@ShainAndrews sure showed him

[@meanotomato]

The Kubota D722 also has a precombustion chamber.

[@hojnikb]

@@ShainAndrews They have emissions standards yes, but actual requirements vary greatly depending on applications. This is why you can still buy 2 stroke generators and chainsaws and industrial engines (like this one) with IDI, yet you'ill never see something like that in a car. Also, injection pressure has everything to do with DI or IDI. Former requires a lot higher pressures (typically over 1500bar) yet with IDI you can get away with 1/10th of the pressure. Similar to petrol engines; port injection requires A LOT lower pressure than direct injection.
