The Kubota Z500-1A is a 0.5 L (508 cc, 31.0 cu-in) straight-two, water-cooled naturally aspirated diesel engine from Kubota 70 mm series.
The Kubota Z500-1A engine has a spherical type сombustion сhamber with glow plug, Bosch K-type mini fuel injection pump, and Bosch throttle type injection nozzle.
The compression ratio rating is 22.0:1. The cylinder bore and the piston stroke are 68.0 mm (2.68 in) and 70.0 mm (2.76 in), respectively.
The Z500-1A diesel engine produced 9.5 PS (7.0 KW; 9.5 HP) at 3,000 rpm of maximum horsepower at PTO-shaft.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- Z – 2-cylinders
- 5 – Approximate displacement 500 cc
