Another bit of info I learned is where to find the Kubota block # and serial # on the Universal diesel. It is located on the left side of the engine (as you face it) on a flat spot below the injectors. On the M25 XP it was difficult to read the 'D950' block designation, but the serial number was very easy to read. On a friend's Tartan 33 with an M30, there was no clearance under the bridgedeck to see this area, so we used a mirror and flashlight, then did a pencil rubbing on paper to make sure 5's were 5's and not backward 2's... On one of the Catalina owners' websites, someone had listed finding their serial # on the dipstick, however, it is the same as the number on my dipstick, just a part number. There is a list of Kubota block #'s for Universal diesels at:

The M25 XP is a 'B' series tractor engine on lists on sites like www.tractorsmart.com. Local Kubota dealers will most likely need the block designation # and the serial number for parts.
