I have finally decided to start messing with the metro engine swap again. First drained the oil. Then tried to remember where everything goes. Apparently I didn't take enough pictures either so I am going to need a little help. I am just going to start with cleaning everything up. Here is the first batch of small parts, I am going to start with the ultrasonic cleaner which should take car of most of it. Then I can do a finishing pass using the sand blaster if need be before painting.




Can you separate the intermediate shaft from the carrier? It looks like it, but it doesn't seem to want to move. I also can't seem to figure out how the rear motor mount bracket goes on. The mount itself goes onto the firewall and mates to a bracket on the engine correct? I think I found the bracket I need, but I don't see how it bolts up. Does anyone have any pictures they can share?

Edit:
I was looking through the kubota metro swap pictures (thread here: https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...o-32945-5.html ) and found one that showed the rear engine mount. Half of it bolts to the transmission, which is why I couldn't figure out how it mounted because I was only looking at the engine.
