    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @@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.

    Cool video 👍one little note, not all diesels have direct injection. Indirect injection (IDI) is also very common. There's a bulb off the top of the combustion chamber where the fuel is injected

    Yeah, older diesel engines were mostly indirect injection, as that required simpler injectors and pumps along with lower cost. And you can run different types of fuel (like veggie oil). These types of diesels were actually used in cars well into the 90s, at least by VW.

    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.

    Many years ago I purchased a Geo Metro for the princely sum of $50. My original intent was to swap in a Kubota tractor engine similar to the one you have here, but I never had a spare $2k lying around to buy an engine. I did manage to get mid-50's gas mileage from that little car with just the gasoline 3-pot though!

    This episode hits home - back in the 1980's a college bud and I were working on a vehicle that had no name - it would have been an electric car that used a kubota diesel engine (smaller than yours) to provide charge to the batteries - it was a precursor to a hybrid though it did not provide direct drive to the car. We were going to use a VW chassis and would have built a two seater as a test car. There were other aspects of providing alternative ways to recharge the batteries (solar panels and wind), but those were just dreams. Of course battery technology was not much more than lead acid at that point. We chose the Kubota because of its constant rpm for generating electricity. Maximize fuel economy. It is thus I'm watching your efforts. Brilliant choice of engine.

    Right now I live in a 100+ year old school building that’s been converted to apartments. It has the most wonderful original wood floods, and the light through the windows in the mornings is fantastic. My dog spends the first few hours after sunrise moving from sunny spot to sunny spot just basking. But those glorious windows are wood framed, single pane originals that are stunningly drafty. Like sometimes I think paper taped into the frames would keep the cold out better. And occasionally I get whiffs of broccoli but I can’t tell where it’s coming from.

    As always, love the video. Oh just wanted to let you know, if you got power windows in that thing, just wait until you have to change a window motor. Get this, the plastic skin comes off the OUTSIDE of the door, no shit. You don't take off the inner door skin, you take off the nice fancy painted plastic outer shell, basically, the outside of the car door. It looks so goofy, too. Well, can't wait to see the next video. That Kubota three cylinder is pretty much indestructible, my buddy had one in his tractor. His neighbor thought it would be fun to drive it into his swimming pool, and the next morning I woke up to see diesel fuel, in an upside down Kubota tractor floating in the water. So I made two big wooden ramps, drug it out of the pool with the Blazer, emptied all the fluids, drain the spider and pump, filters..... Believe it or not, after replacing the battery, she fired right up and ran again. My suggestion to y'all if you ever drive your Kubota 3 cylinder into a swimming pool overnight, get it running again ASAP, and it'll be no corrosion or rust damage occurred. Just a little helpful tip that you probably already know, LOL
