Kubota/Powertech Genny - RetDA - 08-20-2014 08:16 All: Last week was service time for oil changes, filters, etc on my 'bird and Kubota/Powertech genny. Found my oil pressure sender was leaking and I had a new one installed. The sender was difficult to remove/replace without first removing the starter. Starter was pulled and I was shocked to see that the "business end" of the starter was caked with thick, oil-soaked dust. The opening where the starter is connected to the engine block was likewise caked with thick, oil soaked dust. I am amazed this condition had not caused my starter to stall. Those with Kubota/Powertech gennies might consider removing the starter and checking for a similar condition, if yours is configured like mine. I was advised the engine in the front - generator in the back configuration "encouraged" dirt, grime, dust and oil to enter the starter assembly. Further told the more recent configuration - generator in the front - engine in the back minimized such a condition.

Is it the older style large bullet shaped one about 3" long and 2" around with the wire attaching to a stud on the end? Thanks.

I'll get back later.

Hope this answers your question. Tommy RE: Kubota/Powertech Genny - mikebulriss - 08-20-2014 10:40 Thanks Tommy. That should help. I pulled mine off and walked into the Kubota dealer a couple of mles away. I knew I was wasting my time when the parts guy's first words were: "What's that?" I told him and he said "I've never seen one of those before. If you have a part number or tractor model maybe I can look it up." I thanked him and left. I put it back on until I can get by a REAL parts house - not a "What vehicle?" AutoZone, NAPA, etc. I remember the old days when the counter guy would have just looked and said "that 4 ohm or 8 ohm" and pulled the part. That's why I needed a part number.

Michael: We have a big Kubota Dealer here in Oneonta. I've asked about getting parts and service on my Kubota engine (generator). The response has be "Uh....its in a motorhome? I wonder....how rare is a 4 cylinder Kubota Diesel like we have in our 'birds? PowerTech says they have a full line of Kubota parts. I called in the morning for the pressure sender, they looked the part number and I had it the next morning. Tommy RE: Kubota/Powertech Genny - Arcticdude - 08-20-2014 17:49 Tommy, The V2203 kubota we have is used in tons of stuff. It's all over the place. They're almost like seed ticks in the spring! ![]() Mike, The kubota oil sender number may be a 554018. That's what comes up for a V2203, unless there's a power tech specific variant. RE: Kubota/Powertech Genny - GregOConnor - 08-20-2014 18:55 could be there is a sender for psi reading at the Kubota gauge and a switch for the powertec Murphy type shutdown system. switch is a switch but a sender must match the reader (gauge device). Switch is a switch is a bit simplistic because there is a set psi point when it either opens or closes depending on the engineered signal. |
