GETTING MY KUBOTA Z482E TWIN CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE STARTED

[@EXOVCDS]

Very cool to see something come back to life! Diesels are a little more intimidating because of the noise and the chance of having one runaway on you... yup, it'll run to your neighbour if you don't treat it right!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Ha i was ascared it was going to fall off my stands , i let it run for an hour.

[@ThePlowGuys]

When we had the ice storm of 95 I think it was everyone bought generators. Even I did. Just a small gas job. Never used it for three or four years. I ended up selling it for a few hundred dollars. At least someone will get use out of it. Good video I enjoyed watching. Later dude...-John

[@hawaiianf1504]

Sounds like the Beans did it! Really kool setup you got there. Man I tell ya that engine sounds really, really good. Strong as all get out.

[@SteveRobReviews]

+Hawaiian F150 Hey Buddy glad you like my setup its all in a crate now waiting for me to do something with it. Always looking for ideas :)

[@normansmith7806]

That little engine does sound pretty good ! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your country.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks Buddy that's real nice of you. 👍

[@omermahmoud897]

Good job Go head Keep it up!!!!!!!

[@clarissaw7987]

Put a vacuum on the injector return line....and all your starting air issues are over...i do this every night with our lambardini generator....(FYI)

[@SteveRobReviews]

+Clarissa W Ok that sound great. I have to take it out of storage and start it . I will try that . Thanks much appreciated.

[@jimthvac100]

I understand most of these were made to attach straight to a clutch/transmission or a direct connect generator head. Can the bearings handle a side load to be able to hook it up to load with a pulley?

[@SteveRobReviews]

Yes as so many are fitted for industrial remote air compressors and water pumps . The side load is not excessive as the multiple v belts transmit the torque quite well.

[@captainover-tighten6729]

Starting to get smokey, WOW! Love it lmao! Thanks for the video!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks for watching bud. Happy New Year 👍

[@captainover-tighten6729]

You too from NS eh!

[@rickrascon6487]

I need that motor for a 453 bobcat good job man

[@SteveRobReviews]

Rick its a great power unit. The other engine I built a log splitter with. These engines are great . Its in my off grid camp playlist. Cheers

[@michaelmactavish1728]

the kubota engines from 10.5hp to 25hp at my dealer is about $1,799 wich isnt bad price on kubota engines

[@rickrascon6487]

rebuilt my kabota 3 cyl 722 runs for 10 min then prime pump is sucked together. I'm going to install a electric fuel pump and see if that helps

[@dhmsbakri8056]

That solenoid as a lil hose coming out from it, does it connect to somewhere? I am asking cuz i bought a z482 n tryin to hook up the solenoid but cant find any help anywhere else thnx n advance

[@SteveRobReviews]

Let me know exactly because I will be restarting it after sitting for two years and I can show you in a future video.

[@dhmsbakri8056]

STEVE ROB REVIEWS i think i found my answer thank u very much

[@ml2trick]

5.00 for one Gallon, that is sad. Drove by the Gas Station in Central Wisconsin this Morning. Off Road Diesel 1.59 a gallon.

[@SteveRobReviews]

I know and the sad part is the gas your using more than likely came from Alberta. Fuel in Canada is taxed too much , in Europe they pay a lot more than Canadians . Cheers

[@ml2trick]

STEVE ROB Love your Vids. My Girlfriend is from Alberta or Okotoks. I Live in Central Wisconsin. Right near the Green Bay Packers Area. I have been with a Canadian girl for 8 years now. I am so fortunate' that i found a Canadian girl by Accident.I did not know what i was missing. Love your cabin and land. It is just like my little acreage in Wisconsin. You just make better toys. I use old farm stuff. It works for me . But your splitter is Sweet.

[@SteveRobReviews]

ml2trick Well thank you for the kind words and I have an American girlfriend it seems, well not really but when you make KZbin vids and you misspeak LOL In my next vid you will find out who she is and so will my wife. LOL Take Care

[@williamdowell7646]

Good looking stand you built there Steve

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks !!

[@stuzman52]

Hey Steve...I got a little chuckle when that damn camera stand was fighting the hell out of you. The engine sounds pretty darn good to sitting for three years. Just curious Steve, do you guys start celebrating Thanksgiving so soon up there?

[@SteveRobReviews]

Terry I have a cheap tripod I'm going to blow up when brother Tim gets here, my lord it just fights me constantly. Not sure about this thanksgiving stuff , man I love Canada but I really don't understand this weekends Holliday . Don't know what it's all about to tell you the truth, there's no pilgrims up here either. I did eat a turkey today, not much excitement. Ha

[@stuzman52]

Well Steve, when you're out in the boondocks, I wouldn't expect you to have much excitement, (smiling)... Holy crap Steve...I just learned something. I didn't know that it was Thanksgiving up there in Canada today, Oct 12th. I just looked it up. Down here in the old 'South', Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November of each year. This year it will be November 26th. Bet you learned something eh, Steve... Take care man and have a good one...

[@JoshKilen]

where did you get the fuel tank and the filter?

[@JoshKilen]

nice runner.

[@JoshKilen]

the sudden shut down is due to air in the injector s and fuel lines

[@JoshKilen]

also you forgot to bleed the injector lines next to the injectors

[@lowbudgetballer]

Crack the bleeder, manually prime, crank , then bleed injectors

[@wtbm123]

Sounds good .

[@SteveRobReviews]

I think it would fit one of your lawn tractors :)

[@wtbm123]

+Steve Rob Well just ship it down here and we can see if it fits . LOL

[@hawaiianf1504]

Never realized till now you had your own channel. Guess i'll have to say my apologies now cuz a old fart like me is going keep popping in to watch you sweat and fix things while I lean back in my Hawaiian soft chair.. Great videos Big Guy - keep'r coming. The videos not the wifey. Well i guess you can do that but I ain't paying for premium video extra's.. ;)

[@SteveRobReviews]

+Hawaiian F150 HAHA im just a rookie but I have lots of KZbin friends that help me out and you will see who they are . Buddy I know a lot of these great channels and they are all like you and me, completely twisted LOL Well welcome aboard. If you would like to see the special edition SOUTH MAIN AUTO. Coors Light beer check out my years end review vid. #25 man I know you like a good laugh. OMG

[@michaelmactavish1728]

gotta love kubota engines

[@SteveRobReviews]

Starts up every time no matter how cold . Awesome engines.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

@@SteveRobReviews yeah there great and cheaper then any other engines on the market wich is nice plus great for putting into any machines needs engines

[@kylec.5462]

@@SteveRobReviews I've got a d600 I turboed and it runs great, only running about 5 psi but it'll hold a wheelie in a g5200 tractor

[@offgridmangogrower]

Is that a bolt on output shaft off the flywheel? And anyone know it's original usage..? Personally I would change crankcase oil if stored any length of time at Canadian temperatures.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Yes it's a factory PTO shaft bolted on .

[@offgridmangogrower]

@@SteveRobReviews now if I new a junk yard selling them at scrap prices....I would be in holly water.

[@ebrahimshokrian9508]

at ferst you shuled usede ac warmer bay element batri and raning

[@offgridmangogrower]

I think we are at 2.99/gal in so cal. I have the low boy version but my injectors or maybe pump are not working...anyone with spare injectors please chime in.

[@capman911]

When I first start my Yanmar diesel after it has ran out of fuel I have to also bleed the injectors to dispel any air that's in the lines first the line to the injector pump until it gets fuel then crack the injector lines until you see fuel coming out of them when you turn over the engine. It gets kinda messy. Ebay has some new very nice generator heads you can couple to that engine to power your house if the current ever goes out. www.bing.com/images/search?q=Generator+Drive+Coupling&FORM=HDRSC2

[@SteveRobReviews]

Mike I was thinking doing just that , Thanks for the links buddy and thanks for taking a look at what I do. Cheers !

[@garyhemmer8430]

I have a BX1500D and I would like to add a block heater so the cold winters will not take my motor out. anyone have an idea where to get one. it seems the lower radiator hose is 3/4 in and I cannot find one for it

[@SteveRobReviews]

Gary my B7800 has a block heater installed from new . I have never needed it in the coldest weather yet . It fires up every time .

[@mattgrooms3298]

Every time you open that bleeder there is another air poket formed

[@SteveRobReviews]

Yes and I have figured it out finally and can bleed the air out a lot better now. Cheers

[@jaggass]

Often found in Aixam mirocars.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Cheers !!!

[@billyr9840]

Holy Crap, $5.00 a gallon for diesel ! under $3.00 here in the northeastern US.

[@SteveRobReviews]

$5 Canadian is about $6 American but our gallon is about 1 liter larger than yours so we're back to about $5 American a gallon. $44 American for a case of beer and a McDonald's Big Mac is $7 American. We get hosed big time up here :)

[@billyr9840]

$44.00 for a case of beer, I'd rather drink that liter of diesel ! 20 pack of Bud Light $13.00 and change !

[@SteveRobReviews]

Ha that's a six pac up here. Minimum wage up here is $11.40 , union house framer is $36 an hour.

[@billyr9840]

You must get awful thirsty up there !

[@SteveRobReviews]

Ha it's nuts up here , the only drunks up here are the millionaires Haha

[@hawaiianf1504]

Big Guy - ya know I know exactly where that baby could go. Ya see, I got this modified chair, i would like to see it become diesel power'd. That's so I can run on the highway over here and wink at all of the tanned Hawaiian lady's ;) Not kidding about the lady's mind ya. But I think I'll have to settle for an old reman'd scooter motor. That motor you got there is too sweet to disgrace with such a lowly man dream . Reckon now you got to build something to put that baby in. Maybe your own Fork Lift or Tractor or even provide power your "Man-Bar 's" coolers, lighting, strobe lights and we can't forget your secret crowd gatherer, The infamous Lady's Night Strip Pole Hour. All kidding aside my friend - Great Work there! That Diesel is Right and Tight!

[@SteveRobReviews]

+Hawaiian F150 Thanks and I have a tractor and forklift for the wife's a good idea LOL Made a diesel powered genset , looking for something real challenging I could turn into a 200 part series on KZbin HAHA
