Kubota EA330-E3-NB1 diesel engine

[Henry W]

It was just delivered this afternoon. It was a long wait.

This will be used for my next project. I am thinking about a 24 volt Leece Neville alternator setup. If I can find a good inverter at a good price this might be the way to go.

Here are some pictures of it in the crate.

Nice puppy another for the collections...don't you have one EA300 already? and how hard was to get it...

[Henry W]

I had an EA300 and I traded it for an extended run Z482 engine.

I liked the EA300 engine very much and regretted getting rid of it. Well when I found the EA330 I called and bought it.

It only took me over a year to find this one. I was not willing to pay $2,800.00 for one. They were out there for that price. From what I hear they are very hard to find in the US since the incident in Japan.

I was lucky getting this one.

Fired the engine up for a couple minutes so parts get oiled and than shut it down. Next time it starts will be when it will produce power.

Engine ran nice and smooth.

I will post pictures this weekend.

Well he is a cute 'lil feller after you get his saran wrap off.   If it runs like other Kubota stuff, it's likely to outlive both of us.

Hi vdubnut62,

These engines do run for a long time when maintained. The TBO? I don't know. I would like to find out how long they are lasting.

That starter ring gear equipped flywheel that doesn't work to make your fingers into hamburger is a nice feature.  I had a run in with my 1115 that was serious but could have been a lot worse.  Nice engine!
