Most of us know that our Universal engines are really Kubota tractor engines in disguise. When I went to a Kubota dealer for parts, however, they refused to help unless I could tell them which tractor the engine was used in. I knew I had a D850 engine but not what machine it was used in. I found the attached cross reference list on the internet showing what engines were used in which machines. In my case the M25/D850 was used in three different machines any one of which will give the correct part numbers as long as you are not looking for cooling or exhaust parts.
Thank-you Richard!

Since you have been able to get this valuable info - can you scan and upload these documents as PDF files so that we can download them? I guess they are call Attachments here.
Thank you.

Hey Bill. Please look at posting #15 here: https://www.catalina36.org/forum/technical-discussion/glow-plug-cross-reference

Thanks Nick;
I found that the M-35, is the V1200 engine but I could not find any vehicle it was used in. At least in that list.

Please consult the posting that I referenced above. There's essentially four pieces of information per line: Universal Engine Model, Kubota Engine Model, NGK Glow Plug, Kubota Tractor Model used in.
The list indicates V1200 is used in tractor B9200

Not sure that I agree with this information. (At least not for all C36 engines) (Perhaps the title should reflect for M25 engines only?)
During my camshaft replacement 2 years ago (in which I bought Kubota parts for much cheaper than Universal) I discovered that my M35BC engine block was a Kubota V1305-D... https://www.catalina36.org/forum/technical-discussion/dreaded-cam-shaft-...

Hey Howard. Check out my cross reference at:
https://www.catalina36.org/forum/technical-discussion/glow-plug-cross-reference
and please let me know where an improvement can be made. I list the blocks for M35, M35A as V1200 series and M35B as V1305 series. Please note that for an M35BC, the "C" only designates "Catalina". Although you'll generally find the -E suffix for the Kubota engine blocks when installed in a Catalina, the meaning of that letter (-E vs.-D for example) is unknown and does not seem to make a difference when ordering parts from Kubota.

Thanks Nick;
Yes, I think all the information is there - just wanted to post that owners need to ensure the model of their engine/block for accurate part ordering. There is a Kubota number stamped on the engine block - I believe it was in the area of the fuel distribution manifold, but it's been a while now so memory is fuzzy...
