Kubota diesels came in a bunch of Golf course equipment so you should be able to find one that has a hydraulic drive. I have an old Jacobsen (see pics below). This summer I have plans on taking the motor, hydraulic pump and wheel drives and graft them into a golf cart...just too many projects right now. It should have enough speed, the Jacobsen cruises around 25 or 30. And it should have tons of climbing power.

Only other option i can think of would be a Cushman Truckster. They came with Kubota engines, standard shift transmsissions and heavy duty rears.

Hope it helps.

put a shaft on the diesel for a golf cart clutch and it will fit sideways to line up the belt to the original rear. Put the radiator somewhere else besides in front of the engine. I'm working on putting a D722E in mine, 20hp @3600 from a Greens King IV. I may also have another diesel available (For Sale) in the near future from a Turfcat out-front mower.

I have a suggestion for you on this build. Yep Cushman is the right direction.
PM me later and we can discuss it.

dose anyone happen to know what year range the cushman turf trucksters came with kubota diesel motors? trading some electrical work for a 4 wheel turf truckster with a kubota diesel motor. I have 2 pictures and I hope one of you pros can give me a guess as to the year. I would like to get the service manual.
