I wasn't being aggressive on my reply of the flywheel. If thats the way it looked im sorry it looked that way. Im here to gain knowledge of what I own to keep something old going over wanting a payment and to gain some new friends along the way. Ive read about the liners I didnt mean to write...

It will be alot more to include the pistons and the liners and wrists pins valvejob etc. Doing the kubota parts available from a dealer or even some discount parts online it will be close to buying a good used low hours engine. These engine parts add up quickly then machine work on the liners...

Well everyone Ive been pretty busy at work lately. House stuff kept happening as well. I finally got a chance to get the head off then tonight I got the back piston out. The result made me way happier. The only ring that was free and loose was the top ring! The 2nd ring and the oil ring they...

Well I got good news!! Administrators if you could delete this thread Id appreciate it i will respond in a previous thread I started on my engine issue.

Isn't that a turbo one?? Also I wonder what its like to bring something across from Canada nowadays for cost??

Im looking for a kubota M8030 engine. Lower hours would be preferred or atleast a video of it running. Im in PA so would have to ship or close enough to drive to it let me know what you got. Thanks

Well I suppose I get some time again here i will rip that head off. Today was a busy day I was fixing stuff on my car trailer and mowing today. Im on afternoons next week so I will see if I get a chance earlier to take that head off to check the bore.

Well guys I dont have any easier way to say it...... the compression never changed. We did more atf in the cylinders let it sit 3 days. Today I put the torpedo heater on the bottom of the engine to try and add some heat into the block while the atf was still in there. Then got that stuff out of...

Update tonight:: Its tough to get that engine to rotate by hand the fan pulley just spun and the alternator pulley didn't hold onto the belts either. Tried to rotate by using the timing injection pump gear tho it started to turn so I went the other direction back to tight on it. I lightly bumped...

Im not positive on it cuz you cant see much in that intake but it appears to be pretty clean. The air filter itself is from 2018 who knows if thats how long it sat. I will say the air filter is not very dirty ir dusty at all. Had no mice or chew marks anywhere either. This weekend either way I...

Thanks! I already poured a decent portion of atf in all the cylinders so next i will try to hand turn the engine to puke all that out the glow plugs holes. Im suppose to be getting the glowplugs today in the mail. I have a new interstate 1250ca battery will make sure its charged up and my friend...

These older kubota's im learning had different ways they did stuff. Its probably just that im not very familiar with older big tractor world. This tractor having a loader it makes me excited to want to use it and move stuff it's just really comes down to the engine if it will come around. Thanks!

Well I have a new kubota set i found coming. Im slowly learning they play a big role on tractors. My friends 2018 new holland he said is like that even in the summer in the barn it wont start well without the glowplugs. They seem to be a must and maybe buy some spares as well.

The injection pump had blue paint on it with painted on green dots on certain bolts. It looked like it had gone throught a rebuild type check for quality. It most certainly did not look like 1994 original pump and was not hardly dirty at all. Well im not sure i took the timing cover off just...

What a pain in the butt tho it is to try and turn the engine by hand. I dont think they make a barring tool for these engines and that dang crank pulley is really buried down in that frame area. I got some new glow plugs coming for the tractor as well. The exhaust was actually putting out...
