I have a few questions.
1) where can I find a service manual (universal & Kubota)
2) what tractor used the M18?
3) what does Kubota call the motor?
4) Where can I find the cross reference numbers?
5) Did Universal use a different designation for the M18 , like M18 or 5416?

I appreciate it, but I am looking for the service/shop manual. I have the parts manual.

Just checked tonight my dipstick reads “
D1100Z750V1500”. Does that mean the PO has a different engine than what he told me?

Don't go by the dipstick. Many are interchangeable. The Z750 was a 4 cylinder, so unless you can see 4 injectors, that's not what you have :)

My dipstick says Z500, but I know it's a Z600. The M18 was a new motor when my boat was built ('84), so maybe they were short of exact part numbers, and they're interchangeable anyway.

Go by the plate on the valve cover, behind the thermostat housing.
