The first item of business today was to remove the stock exhaust components from the Kubota. The exhaust extension also supports the belt tensioner for the cooling fan so this will need to be modified later in the project.

Next step was to install the adapter plate for the exhaust manifold. The exhaust ports are on the same centers but the stud pattern is different. Countersunk bolts allow the plate to be fastened head, then the turbo and it's manifold bolt onto the adapter.

Once the turbo is installed onto the motor, lube oil must be plumbed to and from the housing. The source for the oil is drawn from a tee fitting installed at the oil pressure sending unit. The drain oil will be piped around to the other side of the block and dumped at the location where a mechanical fuel transfer pump would be installed if used. On a 782D, there is an electrical fuel transfer pump so the engine block has a block off plate. A fitting will be installed there for the drain. The installation of the drain hose will be first on the list tomorrow.

I'm impressed. Drive shaft came out sweet!

Yes it did Sam, and thank you for your guidance. I really like the strength/integrity of the CV style joint. The boots are still available from Cub too. Reasonably priced at $16 a piece. :Thanks:

I think the early 782D's & 882's had the mechanical & electrical fuel pumps. Here is a pic of one of mine with it. I guess I could remove the mechanical one if needed.

What parts did you use for your CV drive shaft?

DieselDoctor 04-18-2017 08:59 PM

It's basically a hydro and a driveline from an 1864. That gives you the splined input on the hydro and the CV type shaft. The shaft is too long and needs to be cut and spliced in the middle. The CV to Kubota front pulley adapter is available from OCC member Jeff in PA.

Your efforts are marvelous! Great work- everything is looking top notch! Very interested in seeing and hearing the end results. Smoke tomorrow??

We left off with needing to run the oil return line from the turbo to the other side of the motor and attach it onto the block where a mechanical lift pump would be if this had one. After removing the plate and installing the fitting supplied with the kit, I ran the return hose around the back of the motor and connected it to the fitting. I made sure to position the hose so that it is a downhill run from turbo to block to eliminate any puddling of oil in the hose.
