The Kubota motor was removed from a brand new Kubota excavator that was converted to all-electric. So it is used with maybe 1hr of running time. 2019 dates on the tags.

The Motenergy ME1616 motor is water cooled. Same motor I am using for propulsion. I also have a closed circuit FWC system with heat exchanger as I do for the drive motor.

Where are you located? I am in USA, OH on Lake Erie.

I did much the same. I used a Motenergy motor direct to the flywheel of a Farymann diesel I salvaged from a Westerbeke 4kW generator. At 3,600 RPM it didn’t get high enough voltage to charge.
then I purchased a PMAC generator on ebay and belted it to the Farymann producing plenty of volts. Over the summer the Farymann froze up solid - so out she came.
Next was a cheap gas “range extender” from AliExpress. It worked fine until it caught on fire.I assume that your Kubota is used? Or new? Is the Motenergy Motor water cooled? My drive motors are water cooled so I have a closed circuit fresh water cooled by a heat exchanger using SES water and 2 pumps.
