HELP! Satoh 650G = Mazda car engine???

I'm told a Mazda 197x car engine is the same as the one
in my Satoh 650G. Can anybody tell me EXACTLY which year
and model Mazda? Would the alternator also be the same as the Mazda?

thanks,
Jay

I have a Satoh S650-G that came with a repair manual for the S550-G that also lists all the specifications for the S650-G. It states that the engine is a Mazda Model PB 60.2 cu in(987cc). I have tried to track this engine down through several parts distributors (tractor, automotive, and industrial) but have had no luck. The Stull Company in PA can get new parts but at $500 for a water pump, $165 for a piston, $218 for a sleeve, and $350 for a ring set it is rather outrageous. A complete overhaul would run about $4000. Seems like this engine was used only in this tractor and in some forklifts. I found one industrial fork lift company who used to have complete new engines but they had sold the last one. When you cross reference the oil filther to current applications the only match is with early model (early 70's) Honda engines of around 1.2 liters. I am trying to chase this down to see if Honda may have used a small Mazda engine at that time or if it is just coincidental that the filter is used on both engines. I also have Lucas part numbers for the ignition components that I am trying to trace back to an alternate application. Will keep you posted.

Who told you that the Satoh had a Mazda engine? Satohs were made by Mitsubishi. They didn't want to use the Mitsubishi name--it seems some people with two digit IQ's have a problem with it. I'd check with your local Mitsu dealer.

A had a guy work on it some time back. He thought it was a Mitsubishi engine and was having trouble
with getting the right parts, until he found out it was a Mazda engine... I don't think it's a reflection of
anybody's IQ. It could be an honest mistake on anybodies part, including yours... couldn't it :)

Jay, I don't know the answer to your question. I just wanted to let you know that there are people on this board who honestly want to help, and stay focused on tractors and equipment, as opposed to sounding like a member of the Redneck Militia. If I should come across any information for you, I'll sure post it. My momma use to say, "If you don't have anything helpful to say...Dont!"

Paul, I had a problem with my alternator on my 650g, after exhausting myself with dead ends I found myself an automotive electrical/alternator repair shop, I was able to pick up a replacement and yes it was off of a Mazda. Hope this helps....

Would you happen to know what the "A", "F", "N" and "E" wires
stand for on the alternator? These are American characters :)
thank you.
