Want To Buy: Onan 6.0MDKUB Genset for Parts (Oil Base)

[dwKaiser]

I am looking for parts for an Onan 6.0MDKUB Genset. The most important part that I am looking for is the Oil Base.

I would consider purchase of a whole (failed) unit for the parts I need. Currently, I can find all new replacement parts that I need, except for the Oil Base.

What is an "oil base" ?

The Oil Base is a sump for the oil; it bolts to the bottom of the block of the diesel motor. In the case of this particular model, the engine mounts are cast onto the sides of the Oil Base.

I have attached a photograph of the part and a copy of the relevant page from the associated parts manual.

Any luck finding the oil sump pan? I'm in need of the exact same one likely for the exact same issue: corrosion.

Thanks.

Think its a Kubota engine in those things ! I had the 8 and it was a Kubota D950.

Dan,

Yes, I am still looking. No luck in finding a replacement. I am considering the process of creating a new part.

Yes, the problem is corrosion.

Steve,

The Onan 6.0MDKUB Genset was build around a Kubota Z482B. Unfortunately, the Oil Base is not a standard Kubota part, but is a custom Onan part that is no longer manufactured.
