A friend donated an old kubota tractor engine to my efforts at making a wood-powered generator. The problem is that I don't really know anything about the engine. I can see that it is a 2-cylinder, but the only other seemingly related info that I can tell is that it says .425L on the side (ie, 425 cc... if that L refers to volume). It's beside the injector pump. Near that, I see (encircled K) B3, and below that YB 1.

How on earth do I go about getting more information about it? I found some kubota engine ID pdf's, but they are for newer models... this one is probably '80's or before.
