  • I finally finished this thing. I was able to locate the last bearing/bushing, metal crank pin #1 in Australia of all places and got In. & Ex. Valves from them as well. The parts were Japanese but not necessarily Kubota so im unsure but they were quality parts. I sourced a new crankshaft, used rods almost locally and all the seals, gaskets, pistons, ring packs main bearings, rod bearings and bushings from good ol' Messiks. I installed new valve guides, reamed them, I re-cut the valve seats, new valves, glow plugs, and re-sealed the chassis so there's no mess when its parked. I was also able to find NOS fuel camshaft kit on eBay. The sleeves on the other hand were no more than .0002" out of round. I was absolutely blown away at the fact.
    Its coming along, I went to my machine shop in town and they said they'd make me a 15231-28470 and good thing because I've searched everywhere without an success. Tranny filled to the brim with diesel and it sat for a week after it was drained, vacuumed the sump to capture any debris and got it painted. its not extremely accurate coloring but looks decent. Crankshaft was completely destroyed, it was ran for some time without #1 rod bearing and the rod journals were 4 tenths of an inch different in diameter... Sleeves are .0001 out of round so were going for another 50 years on em. Everything I need to overhaul this little guy is in the mail, between eBay and Messiks I got everything I needed and then some. I'll keep anyone following along in the know.
