Part of the Kubota Repair Manuals.
This is the official Kubota AC60 workshop manual, a 70-page PDF covering the AC60 diesel engine and its AC60-Q, AC60-G, AC60-D, and AC60-R variants. It moves from performance curves and dimensions into the engine's mechanism, then into full disassembly and servicing.
You get the construction and function of the engine body, lubricating, fuel, and electrical systems, followed by troubleshooting, servicing specifications, tightening torques, a maintenance check list, and step-by-step checking, adjusting, disassembling, and assembling procedures for the engine body.
Use it to set valve clearance, torque the cylinder head and injector nozzle correctly, service the air and fuel filters, and diagnose the hard starting, smoke, and low-power problems these small diesels develop with age. Factory values are given so you rebuild to spec instead of by feel.

Kubota AC60 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hard starting or no cold start
A single-cylinder AC60 that cranks but will not fire often has a weak battery, air in the fuel, a clogged injector nozzle, low compression, or valve clearance out of spec. The Disassembling and Servicing section has the troubleshooting chart.
Manual Section: Disassembling and Servicing p. 19Starts then stalls under load
Stalling shortly after starting usually traces to a fuel restriction: a dirty filter or strainer, a blocked tank vent, or water in the fuel. The Mechanism section explains the fuel system layout.
Manual Section: Mechanism p. 7Black smoke and loss of power
Heavy black smoke and weak power point to a restricted air cleaner, injector wear, or carbon buildup. Follow the air cleaner service and injector specifications in the Disassembling and Servicing section.
Manual Section: Disassembling and Servicing p. 19Blue smoke and high oil use
Blue smoke and oil consumption on a high-hour AC60 indicate worn piston rings or cylinder wear. The Engine Body servicing procedures cover measuring and rebuilding to the allowable limits.
Manual Section: Engine Body (Servicing) p. 45Knocking or noisy valve train
A metallic knock or tapping often means valve clearance has drifted out of spec. The Engine Body section gives the checking and adjusting steps and the cold clearance value.
Manual Section: Engine Body (Servicing) p. 45Low oil pressure warning
A flickering oil light can mean low oil level, wrong viscosity, or a clogged strainer. Check it against the engine oil pressure specification in the Engine Body servicing section.
Manual Section: Engine Body (Servicing) p. 45Frequently Asked Questions
Which engines does this manual cover?
It covers the Kubota AC60 diesel engine and its AC60-Q, AC60-G, AC60-D, and AC60-R variants in one 70-page manual.
Does it give torque specifications?
Yes. The Disassembling and Servicing section lists tightening torques, including cylinder head screws at 51.9 to 56.8 N-m and the flywheel nut, so you fasten to factory spec. p. 19
What is the valve clearance and where is it set?
Cold valve clearance is 0.14 to 0.18 mm. The Engine Body servicing section gives the checking and adjusting procedure for setting it. p. 45
Does it explain how the engine works, not just repairs?
Yes. The Mechanism section describes the construction and function of the engine body, lubricating, fuel, and electrical systems before the servicing chapters. p. 7
Is this Kubota AC60 Series Workshop Manual a digital download?
Immediate download of the full 70-page searchable Workshop Manual. Read it on any device, a laptop at your desk or a phone out in the field.
Can I print this Kubota AC60 Series manual?
Absolutely. No DRM or copy protection. Print the whole manual or just the pages you need. Any home or office printer works.
