Not sure which direction your engine is running... But L3E was stamped very prominently on side of block on mine

It is transversely mounted so I will have to crawl under the bus to look

By searching on google, and by the "K8" marking I saw on the block, I believe it is a Kubota D850 possibly. I will find out more tomorrow

It is a kubota the solenoid that shuts off the engine was not moving the shut off lever , as soon as I moved it it fired right up. Both compressors seem to be OK , but too cold to test I'd ac actually works.


Besides that , all the brake shoes and hardware look almost new , and in the rear it has 2 newer tires. I need to move the bus so I can find the date code.

I would think about making that AC engine power a generator as well.
Or perhaps use it as is for charging your house batteries while parked.
I surely wouldn't take it out.
You got a good deal.
Have fun.
