Kubota diesels
I was talking with someone today who had a 1772, hated it and got rid of it. He said that Cub Cadet contracted with Kubota for the engines and the Cub Cadet Kubota engines are inferior to Kubota engines you see on a Kubota tractor.
This didn't make any sense to me at all. Is there any truth to this or has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Something about plastic gears instead of steel. I hope I am not starting a bad rumor about the Kubota motors! I have never heard anything but great things about the folks on the forum that have these tractors.

I work for a Japanese company and that makes no sense at all. They would not have a separate process to make a engine that was inferior. Mine (1572) is 26 years old and has 1650 hours or so and runs as good as when I got it. (1998 with 1100 hours)

I've NEVER heard of a Kubota diesel in a cub having any gear issues, only thing I've heard of is some people have had overheating problems, but I've worked my 1782 pretty hard and haven't had ANY issues. Not to say there arnt some out there with some trouble, but like Sam said, it's the best engine put in a cub

I agree with the others. The Kubota's were the best engines ever put in Cubs and the Kawi's did have a problem with the FD620's cam gear. Even with the cam gear problem it is still a better engine than an air cooled one. I bet that fella that said that drives a green tractor.

Kubota's are one one of the toughest engines out there, we have two bobcats and a roller at work with Kubota's in them. they take ridiculous amounts of abuse. from wide open 20 degree cold starts to 100 degree summer days where the cooling system cant keep up, these engine keep on running. the roller we have has the D600 in it, its got 4200 hours on it. only thing that's ever been done was the alternator. Im a Kubota believer all they way. now i just need one of my own...hopefully in a 1772

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
