Engine Model Family:
Kubota Diesel (specific engine model likely within the D7xx or D8xx series for this era)
Displacement:
Typically around 1.0 - 1.5 Liters (exact figures depend on specific engine variant)
Horsepower Rating:
Around 17-20 Gross PTO HP (estimated based on B1750 designation)
Torque Curve:
Designed for strong low-end torque, crucial for tractor applications.
Injection Type:
Indirect Injection (IDI) typical for this generation of Kubota diesels.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled
Transmission Type:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)
Gearbox Options:
While the manual covers B1750HST, older B1750 models might have had a gear-drive option, but the focus here is HST.
Control:
Foot pedal control for forward and reverse speed, variable speed.
Pto Speeds:
Typically 540 RPM PTO (rear), potentially mid-PTO depending on configuration.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Transmission Fluid) or equivalent (e.g., Hy-Gard) is standard for HST systems.
Transmission Fluid Capacity:
Refer to manual for exact capacity, typically around 3-4 gallons for the HST system.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours, or annually.
Hydraulic Fluid Filter:
Recommended replacement every 200-400 operating hours or as per manual.
Air Filter:
Check and clean frequently, replace based on operating conditions and inspection.
Engine Oil Type:
Kubota Super UDT or SAE 10W-30/15W-40 API CD/CE/CF diesel engine oil (refer to manual for exact spec).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze (50/50 mix with distilled water).
Differential Gear Oil:
Kubota Differential Gear Oil or equivalent SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear oil.
Hst Performance:
Potential for cavitation or loss of power in HST if fluid and filter maintenance is neglected.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or loose connections on older models can lead to intermittent electrical issues.
Hydraulic Leaks:
Aging seals and hoses can lead to hydraulic fluid leaks, requiring timely replacement.
