Engine Model Series:
Likely a diesel engine from Kubota's D-series (e.g., D750, D850, or similar displacement models) based on common Kubota tractor offerings of that era.
Engine Type:
Vertical, water-cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engine (common configuration for this class of tractor).
Displacement:
Likely in the range of 750cc to 1100cc. Exact displacement would be model-specific.
Horsepower Net:

Torque:
Specific torque figures would be detailed in the manual; diesel engines in this range typically produce substantial low-end torque suitable for heavy tasks.
Injection Type:
Indirect injection (IDi) is common for this engine era.
Fuel Delivery:
Mechanical injection pump.
Fuel Filter Part Number Example:
Kubota part number specific to the engine model (e.g., HH1C1-32090 or similar).
Oil Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission & Tractor) fluid or API CE/CF/CG-4 rated diesel engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on ambient temperature). Manual will specify exact grade.
Oil Capacity Engine:
Typically around 4-5 liters (including filter). Exact capacity is vital and found in the manual.
