FWIW, I was trying to get some info on oil filters, etc... and emailed
Kubota Tractor... I was told "we can't support non-Tractor engines
you must contact the [generator] manufacturer. " They went on to
explain that some components on engines that have been installed by
PowerTech (and other non-Kubota vendors) _may_ have non-standard parts
as far as Kubota is concerned.
This is the contact information for Power Tech:
