FAQ

Common Questions

This rod is listed for five different engine models — how do I confirm it's right for my D722?

The D722, D782, D902, Z482, and WG972 are closely related Kubota small-displacement engines sharing the same connecting rod specification. Any of the four OEM part numbers (16851-22010, 16851-22017, 16851-22012, 16851-22015) on your existing rod confirms this is the correct replacement. These are superseded versions of the same part. Check the rod cap or the parts manual for your engine if unsure.

Does this rod also work in the WG972 gasoline engine?

Yes. The Kubota WG972 is a gasoline/LPG version of the same engine block family and uses the same connecting rod. OEM# 16851-22010 is listed for the WG972 alongside the diesel variants.

How many rods do I need for a complete D722 rebuild?

The D722, D782, D902, and Z482 are all 3-cylinder engines. Order 3 connecting rods for a full rebuild — all three cylinder positions use the identical rod. Always replace rod bearings at the same time, and check crankshaft journal diameter before ordering bearing size.
