I googled the two part numbers I could see in the pictures and the one
on the starter comes back - starter for 36 hp Diesel. So, looks like
that is certainly a Kubota.

Sure hope the cooling system was drained as per the warning decal.

And, it sure looks like a project.

You know Steve, even now I notice that I have less of all of the
above...

I was completely exhausted after taking that engine out...

Paul... this is awesome.. thanks... The first order ofthe day is to
find a proper engine oil filter. I bought one filter today at Autozone
that I thought would fit, but it has a diff. thread pitch on the
nipple. Someone at smokstak said that I can find a proper filter at
Autozone.

Yeah. I used to be able to pull the 283 out of my Comet (yep, chevy in a
Ford!) in less than an hour. Of course, I had a LOT of practice. sigh.

When I was sixteen, I could have the heads off a 283 Chevy motor in about an
hour. Now it takes me that long to change my oil.

Keep in mind that cars have become a lot more difficult to work on,
since you were 18 or 16 etc.

My first truck was a '61 Ford F-100 with the 312CID V-8 engine. I
could climb over the fender and stand next to the engine during the
tuneup, removing the plugs/points/condenser/cap/rotor from the ground
on either side.

My 2007 Toyota Tundra is a larger pickup but it doesn't have more than
4" of clear space on either side. Additionally, its 4.7L engine is
physically smaller than the old 312.

I much prefer the newer vehicles. Does anyone here miss working on
those damned carburetors? EFI is sooooooo nice!
