Title: Powertech 10KW part number?
Post by: FourTravelers on August 23, 2015, 07:16:29 pm
I have had no luck finding the lower radiator and bypass hose for the 4cyl Kubota on our Powertech 10KW gen.
According to beamalarm part listing the lower hose is PT 9269 72940 , online searches have come up short. I have been unable to find a number for the bypass hose. NAPA has the upper hose from Gates.
Does anyone have a NAPA # for the lower?

Why not take them to NAPA and ask them to match them?

I was wanting to get new ones before I removed the old ones as it is still operable. Just wanted to replace because of age.

Per Search, try calling Powertech tomorrow.  They should be able to give you Gates numbers for cross-reference.  Gary B. had success doing that with his Generator parts PT10 (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=9387.msg41641#msg41641)

nb it appears in some cases you may need to get a hose from PT themselves Generator service (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=9377.0)

Thanks Michelle.....
I'll call Powertech for info on the bypass hose and T-stat, NAPA should be able to get the lower hose (Gates-20556)

Gary B. is correct about the Gates 7360 belt being too short. I found that out the hard way too, with the idler all the way in, I actually had to start it on the crankshaft pulley and bump the starter to get it on. WRONG..... it was way too tight and I had to cut it off. It was tight enough that it probably would have damaged the water pump bearing. The 7375 fit perfectly. I didnt have to remove the radiator, just loosened the shroud and worked the belt over the fan and between it and the radiator. (plastic fan) Then tightened the idler, took about 20 minutes.

If you clean-up the hose, you might get lucky and be able to read an old part number..  pc
