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.?
