Kubota D1403

Kubota D1403The Kubota D1403 is a 1.4 L (1,393 cc, 85.0 cu·in) natural aspirated three-cylinders four-stroke liquid-cooled internal combustion vertical diesel engine, manufactured by Kubota for general-purpose applications.

An 80.0 mm (3.15 in) cylinder bore and an 92.4 mm (3.64 in) piston stroke give the D1403 engine a total of 1,393 cc of displacement. The compression ratio rating is 23.0:1.

The D1403-B(E) engine produced 29.4 PS (21.6 KW; 29.0 HP) at 2,800 rpm of the net (intermittent) horsepower and 31.4 PS (23.1 KW; 31.0 HP) at 2,800 rpm of gross (intermittent) horsepower.

The Kubota D1403 features:

  • Spherical type combustion chamber (N-TVCS of E-TVCS, after Jan 1994, s/n 12212 and above)
  • Bosch mini type fuel injection pump (PFR 3M)
  • Bosch throttle-type injection nozzle
  • Centrifugal ball mechanical governor
  • Forced lubrication by trochoid pump
  • Liquid cooling system forced circulation with water pump
  • Electric starter (12V, 1.2 kW)
  • Dynamo for charing (12V, 360 W)
