Make Model:
Likely a Kubota diesel engine (e.g., D-series) specific to the G3200 model range.
Displacement:
Exact displacement depends on the specific G3200 variant, but typically in the range of 0.8L to 1.5L for tractors of this era and class.
Horsepower:
Horsepower rating will vary by engine configuration, generally in the 18-25 HP range for this tractor class.
Torque:
Torque figures would be specific to the engine model and are detailed within the manual.
Type:
Diesel, likely with indirect injection and a mechanical injection pump.
Type:
Liquid-cooled (radiator and fan)
Oil Type:
Diesel engine oil, viscosity grade typically SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on ambient temperature. Specific API service classification (e.g., CD, CE, CF) will be detailed.
Oil Capacity:
Capacity will be specific to the engine model and detailed in the manual.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Consult manual for exact interval.
Hydraulic Filter Change:
Usually recommended every 200-300 hours or annually. Consult manual.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Check and clean every 50 hours, replace as needed or annually.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 200-300 hours or annually. Prime after replacement.
Engine Coolant:
A 50/50 mixture of permanent antifreeze and water. Specific types (ethylene glycol based) and corrosion inhibitors are detailed in the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid:
Kubota UDT (Universal Tractor Transmission Drain) Fluid is often specified. Alternatives like ISO VG 32 hydraulic oil or John Deere Hy-Gard may be compatible but verification is crucial via the manual.
Common Wear Items:
Wear on hydrostatic pump/motor, aging rubber seals and hoses in the hydraulic system, common diesel engine wear items (injectors, glow plugs).
Electrical Components:
Corrosion on connectors, failure of starter motor or alternator over time are common in older equipment.
Importance:
Strict adherence to the maintenance schedule outlined in this manual is critical for preserving the longevity and performance of the G3200 tractor, especially the hydrostatic transmission.
Manufacturer:
Kubota Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer known for its high-quality compact tractors, construction equipment, and engines since its founding in 1890.
Gn Series Context:
The G-series tractors, including the G3200, represent Kubota's commitment to versatile, sub-compact and compact utility tractors designed for residential, small farm, and landscaping applications.
Production Era:
The G3200 model likely dates from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, a period where Kubota was solidifying its presence in the North American compact tractor market.
