Anyone know anything about this motor? Thinking maybe a tractor motor, but I don't know.

That would be as good a guess as any.

[Robby Moser]

definitely an ICE,not electric.

Looks like out of a forklift to me. Let me see rest of bellhousing please . Opening visible on bellhousing looks to be for a gear driven pump.

If not for a pump then the easiest access starter known to mankind, then

Kubota diesel?

Y480D is on the stamp, quick search of "Y480D engine" comes back to Yagdong YD480D diesel engine.

China import tractor, it will be a machine with a name that will not slide off a southern tounge. A brand that is made to sell and not use or to get parts in years to come.

Chad beat me, but like he said, a name we cannot pronounce.

Isn't there an import tractor -- Yanmar-- that uses the Y480D engine?

My searches on the serial on block that came back with anything Yanmar did not include a 4 cylinder engine & did not look like pictured engine. If you blow up the picture it sure looks to me like sparkplug holes underneath the manifold runners but not sure.

Kubota diesel?

Was there ever any blue Kabota's though ? I really don't know.

[ProVle]

I think I have seen those used in 53 Chevy Taxi cab's in Cuba!

That's a good eye, I'll look at it closer today, I didn't notice that

Now I see the Chinese? decal pointing to the holes under the manifold for spark plugs or injectors. Looks like it has been preserved. has alternator (post '60's). O H V.

I'm pretty sure that's the same Chinese outfit that makes the "Chonda" knock-off Honda gasoline engines found on generators etc.

[old4runner]

Google image search keeps thinking it is a Willy's Jeep motor but they are not perfect matches. Where did it come from? Any kind of military folks have anything to do with where you got it?

A stationary generator or pump would be my next guesses as well.

Here are some more pics. No spark plugs. Nothing military in this area that I am aware of
