INFORMATION
OPERATE SAFELY
• Do not use the machine after you consume alcohol
or medication or when you are tired.
• Put on applicable clothing and safety equipment.
• Use applicable tools only. Do not use alternative
tools or parts.
• When 2 or more persons do servicing, make sure
that you do it safely.
• Do not operate below the machine that only a jack
holds. Always use a safety stand to hold the
machine.
• Do not touch the hot parts or parts that turn when the
engine operates.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine
operates, or immediately after it stops. If not, hot
water can spout out from the radiator. Only remove
the radiator cap when it is at a sufficiently low
temperature to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen
the cap to release the pressure before you remove it
fully.
• Released fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can cause damage to the skin and cause serious
injury. Release the pressure before you disconnect
hydraulic or fuel lines. Tighten all connections before
you apply the pressure.
• Do not open a fuel system under high pressure.
The fluid under high pressure that stays in fuel lines
can cause serious injury. Do not disconnect or repair
the fuel lines, sensors, or any other components
between the fuel pump and injectors on engines with
a common rail fuel system under high pressure.
• Put on an applicable ear protective device (earmuffs
or earplugs) to prevent injury against loud noises.
• Be careful about electric shock. The engine
generates a high voltage of more than DC100 V in
the ECU and is applied to the injector.
WSM000001INI0012US1
PREVENT A FIRE
• Fuel is very flammable and explosive under some
conditions. Do not smoke or let flames or sparks in
your work area.
• To prevent sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first
and connect it last.
• The battery gas can cause an explosion. Keep the
sparks and open flame away from the top of battery,
especially when you charge the battery.
• Make sure that you do not spill fuel on the engine.

GENERAL
Engine Oil
• Oil used in the engine should have an American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and
Proper SAE Engine Oil according to the ambient temperatures as shown above:
• With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use
of a low-sulfur fuel on on-road vehicle engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur
fuel, it is advisable to employ the "CF or better" lubricating oil with a high Total Base Number (TBN of
10 minimum).
• Refer to the following table for the suitable API classification of engine oil according to the engine type
(with internal EGR, external EGR or non-EGR) and the fuel: (low sulfur or high sulfur fuels).
Fuel used
Engine oil classification (API classification)
Oil class of engine except external EGROil class of engines with external EGR
CF
High Sulfur Fuel
(≥ 500 ppm)
(If the "CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, or CI-4"
lubricating oil is used with a high-sulfur
fuel, change the lubricating oil at shorter
(Class CF-4, CG-4 and CH-4 engine oils
cannot be used on EGR type engines)
EGR: Exhaust Gas re-circulation
• The CJ-4 engine oil is intended for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) type engines, and cannot be used on
this tractor.
Without EGRWith external EGR
ModelB2420–
Fuel
• Cetane number of 45 minimum. Cetane number greater than 50 is preferred, especially for temperatures
below −20 °C (−4 °F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft).
• If diesel sulfur content greater than 0.5 % sulfur content is used, reduce the service interval for engine oil
and filter by 50 %.
• DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 1.0 %.
• Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended.
• No.2-D is a distillate fuel of lower volatility for engines in industrial and heavy mobile service. (SAE J313
JUN87).
• Since this engine adopts EPA Tier 4 and Interim Tier 4 standards, the use of low sulfur fuel or ultra low
sulfur fuel is mandatory in EPA regulated area (North America). Therefore, please use No.2-D S500 or S15
diesel fuel as an alternative to No.2-D, or use No.1-D S500 or S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.1-D if
outside air temperature is below −10 °C (14 °F).
Transmission oil
• The oil used to lubricate the transmission is also used as hydraulic fluid. To insure proper operation of
the hydraulic system and to complete lubrication of the transmission, it is important that a multi-grade
transmission fluid is used in this system. We recommend the use of KUBOTA UDT or SUPER UDT fluid
for optimum protection and performance.
Do not mix different brands together.
• Indicated capacities of water and oil are manufacturer's estimate.

Checking Battery Condition
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the instructions below.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely
deteriorate, which may shorten the battery's service life or
cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add
distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between
the UPPER and LOWER levels.
• Never remove the vent plugs while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you
are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around battery.
1. Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds to
maintenance costs.
2. The original battery is maintenance free type battery, but need
some servicing.
3. If the battery is weak, the engine is difficult to start and the lights
be dim. It is important check the battery periodically.

GENERAL
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen
gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open
sparks and flames away from the battery at all times,
especially when charging the battery.
• When charging battery, ensure the vent caps are securely
in place. (if equipped)
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with
the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start with the
positive terminal first.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of vent wells,
if necessary add distilled water in a well-ventilated area.
2. The water in the electrolyte evaporates during recharging.
Liquid shortage damages the battery.
Excessive liquid spills over and damages the tractor body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the normal manner.
4. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge
the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between 1.27 and
1.29, the charging is completed.

Q Anti-Freeze
To avoid personal injury:
• When using antifreeze, put on some protection such as
rubber gloves (Antifreeze contains position).
• If should drink antifreeze, throw up at once and take
medical attention.
• When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin or clothing,
wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different type of antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction causing
harmful substances
• Antifreeze is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from
antifreeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place some
container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain, or into
any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and radiator. If
the ambient temperature falls below 0 °C (32 °F) or before a
long-term storage, let out cooling water completely, or mix fresh
water with long-life coolant and fill the radiator and reserve tank with
the mixture.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several types. Use
ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the radiator with
fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Put the LLC in cooling water in the percentage (%) for a target
temperature. When mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the
radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze differs
according to the make of the antifreeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SAE J814c.

*Never add any long-life coolant of different manufacture.
(Different brands may have different additive components,
and the engine may fail to perform as specified.
6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator cleaning
agent. The LLC contains anticorrosive agent. If mixed with the
cleaning agent, sludge may build up, adversely affecting the
engine parts.
7. KUBOTA's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of
2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2 years.
• The above data represent industry standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the concentrated

[2] TREAD ADJUSTMENT
To avoid personal injury:
• When working on slopes or when working with trailer, set the wheel tread as wide as practical for
maximum stability.
• Support tractor securely on stands before removing a wheel.
• Do not work under any hydraulically supported devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If necessary to work under tractor or any machine elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.
• Never operate tractor with a loose rim, wheel or axle.
• Always attach tires as shown in the figure.
• If not attached as the figure, transmission parts may be damaged.
• Do not use tires larger than specified.

[3] TIRE LIQUID INJECTION
Auxiliary weights can be used to increase traction force for plowing in fields or clayey ground.
Another way is to inject water or another liquid, such as a calcium chloride solution in the tires. Water must not
be used in winter since it freezes at 0 °C (32 °F). The calcium chloride solution will not freeze and moreover, affords
higher effect than water since its specific gravity is higher than that of water by about 20 %. Below is an explanation
of calcium chloride solution injection.
• Do not fill the front tires with liquid.
9Y1210436GEG0024US0
Preparation of Calcium Chloride Solution
• When making a calcium chloride solution, do not pour
water over calcium chloride since this results in chemical
reaction which will cause high temperature. Instead add a
small amount of calcium chloride to the water at a time until
the desired solution is achieved.

Injection
• When a calcium chloride solution is used, cool it before
pouring it into the tire.
• Do not fill tires with water or solution more than 75 % of full
capacity (to the valve stem level).
• To avoid damage of transmission, do not use rear wheel
weights and liquid ballast at the same time.
The following four ways can be used to inject water or a calcium
chloride solution into tires.
1. Gravity injection (Fig. 1)
2. Pump injection (Fig. 2)
3. Pressure tank injection (Fig. 3)
4. Injection directly from tap (only when water is being used).
• Once injection is completed, reset the air valve, and pump
air into the tire to the specified pressure.

1. LUBRICATING SYSTEM ...........................................................................................................1-M1
2. COOLING SYSTEM ................................................................................................................... 1-M2
This engine's lubricating system consists of oil strainer (9), oil pump (8), relief valve (10), oil filter cartridge (16)
and oil pressure switch (2). The oil pump (8) sucks lubricating oil from the oil pan through the oil strainer (9) and the
oil flows down to the filter cartridge (16), where it is further filtered. Then the oil is forced to crankshaft, connecting
rods (15), idle gear (6), camshaft (13) and rocker arm shaft (3) to lubricate each part.
Some part of oil, splashed by the crankshaft (7) or leaking and dropping from gaps of each part, lubricates these
parts: pistons (14), cylinders, small ends of connecting rods (15), tappets (12), push rods (11), inlet and exhaust
valves and timing gears.

2. COOLING SYSTEM
ENGINE
(1) Radiator
(2) Cooling Fan
(3) Thermostat
(4) Water Pump
(5) Cylinder Head Water Jacket
(6) Cylinder Block Water Jacket
The cooling system consists of a radiator (1), a centrifugal water pump (4), a cooling fan (2) and a thermostat (3).
The water is cooled as it flows through the radiator core, and the cooling air through the radiator core by cooling
fan (2).
The water pump (4) receives water from the radiator (1) or from the cylinder head and force it into the cylinder
block.
The thermostat (3) opens or closes according to the water temperature.
When the water temperature is high, the thermostat (3) opens to allow the water to flow from the cylinder head to
the radiator (1). When the water temperature is low, the thermostat close to flow the water only to the water pump (4).
The opening temperature of the thermostat (3) is approx 82 °C (179.6 °F).

1. Run the engine until it is warmed up.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the air cleaner, the muffler and all injection nozzles.
4. Keep the engine stop lever at "Stop Position".
5. Engage the parking brake.
6. Set a compression tester (Code No. 07909-30208) with the
adaptor (Adaptor H, Code No. 07909-31231) to the nozzle hole.
7. While cranking the engine with the starter, measure the
compression pressure.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each cylinder.
9. If the measurement is below the allowable limit, apply a small
amount of oil to the cylinder wall through the nozzle hole and
measure the compression pressure again.
10. If the compression pressure is still less than the allowable limit,
check the top clearance, valve clearance and cylinder head.
11. If the compression pressure increases after applying oil, check
the cylinder wall and piston rings.
• Check the compression pressure with the specified valve
clearance.
• Always use a fully charged battery for preforming this test.
• Variances in cylinder compression values should be under
10 %.

Valve Clearance
• Valve clearance must be checked and adjusted when
engine is cold.
1. Remove the head cover, the glow plugs and the timing window
(3) cover on the clutch housing.
2. Align the "1TC" marking line (4) on the flywheel and center of
timing window so that the No. 1 piston comes to the
compression top dead center.
3. Check the following valve clearance marked with "," using a
feeler gauge.
4. If the clearance is not within the factory specifications, loosen
the lock nut (2) and adjust with the adjusting screw (1).
5. Turn the flywheel 6.28 rad (360 °) and align the "1TC" marking
line and the center of timing window.
6. Check the remaining valve clearance in a same way.
Valve clearance "A"Factory specification
0.145 to 0.185 mm
0.00571 to 0.0728 in.
• The "TC" marking line on the flywheel is just for No. 1
cylinder. There is no "TC" marking for the other cylinders.
• No. 1 piston comes to the T.D.C. position when the "TC"
marking line is aligned with center of timing window on
clutch-housing. Turn the flywheel 0.26 rad (15 °) clockwise
and counterclockwise to see if the piston is at the
compression top dead center or the overlap position. The
piston is at the compression top dead center when both the
IN. and EX. valves do not move; it is at the overlap position
when both the valves move.
• After turning the flywheel counterclockwise twice or three
times, recheck the valve clearance, firmly tighten the lock
nut of the adjusting screw.
• The sequence of cylinder numbers is given as No. 1, No. 2
and No. 3 starting from the gear case side.
