To remove the crankshaft pulley on a Kubota D1503-M-DI:
1. Prevent the flywheel from turning using a flywheel stopper. 2. Use a 46 mm deep socket wrench to remove the fan drive pulley mounting nut. 3. Remove the fan drive pulley using a gear puller. 4. Remove the feather key.
Note: When reassembling, apply grease to the splines of the coupling. Tighten the fan drive pulley mounting nut to 137.3 to 156.9 N·m (101.3 to 115.7 ft-lbs).

DIESEL ENGINE 03-M-DI Series, WSM 1. ENGINE BODY [1] HOLLOW CORE The cylinder block has a hollow core (1) already cast inside the cylinder-to-cylinder water jacket. In this core, there is a pair of vertical cooling passages (right and left) as well as multiple horizontal cooling channels that interconnect these cooling passages.
DIESEL ENGINE 03-M-DI Series, WSM [3] BUILT-IN DYNAMIC BALANCER (BALANCER MODEL ONLY) Engine are sure to vibrate by piston’s reciprocation. Theoretically, three-cylinder engines are much less prone to cause vibration than four-cylinder ones (second inertia, etc.). However, any engine has many moving parts in addition to its pistons and cannot be completely free from vibration.
DIESEL ENGINE 03-M-DI Series, WSM 2. COOLING SYSTEM [1] BOTTOM BYPASS SYSTEM Bottom bypass system is introduced in 03-M-DI Series for improving the cooling performance of the radiator. While the temperature of coolant in the engine is low, the thermostat (1) is held closed and the coolant is allowed to flow through the bypass pipe and to circulate in the engine.
DIESEL ENGINE 03-M-DI Series, WSM 3. FUEL SYSTEM [1] GOVERNOR The governor serves to keep engine speed constant by automatically adjusting the amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to changes in the load. This engine employs an all-speed governor which controls the centrifugal force of the steel ball (1) weight, produced by rotation of the fuel camshaft (5), and the tension of the governor spring 1 (7) and 2 (8) are balanced.
Page 15
DIESEL ENGINE 03-M-DI Series, WSM At Idling When the speed control lever is set at the idling position after the engine starts, the governor spring 1 (7) does not work at all and the governor spring 2 (8) does only act slightly. The governor sleeve (2) is pushed leftward by a centrifugal force of steel ball (1).
DIESEL ENGINE 03-M-DI Series, WSM 4. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM [1] STARTER AUTO REDUCTION UNIT (1) General The starter auto reduction unit (7) is designed to start the machine equipped with engine more reliably. This unit has the following function by integrating an alternator (1) that puts out rpm-proportional pulses. 1.

Questions and answers
How do i remove the crankshaft pulley?
To remove the crankshaft pulley on a Kubota D1503-M-DI:
1. Prevent the flywheel from turning using a flywheel stopper.
2. Use a 46 mm deep socket wrench to remove the fan drive pulley mounting nut.
3. Remove the fan drive pulley using a gear puller.
4. Remove the feather key.
Note: When reassembling, apply grease to the splines of the coupling. Tighten the fan drive pulley mounting nut to 137.3 to 156.9 N·m (101.3 to 115.7 ft-lbs).
