Dave,
Have you tried going on line and searching for something like “Kubota M5700 engine noise”?
Maybe somebody out there had the same problem and posted how they resolved it. There may be a discussion group where you might get ideas other than what’s been already mentioned here. You might also find a Kubota M5700 owners group who can tell you exactly what’s going on.

A short rod won't change injector timing but it will change the compression ratio and power output of that cylinder. A compression test of each cylinder might show this.

The seller said it was his father's tractor since new and never been apart....he lied! There was more RTV on oil pan than you could imagine and obviously that piston and rod and bearings had been replaced and I thought they had been chasing the noise. Unless there was some other reason, but dont know.

He found the rod to be the same except it a tweak shorter by an almost immeasurable amount, maybe .005 or .010. Part number is almost the same except last digit and now I'm wondering if that could be someone's mistake. Would shorter rod cause preignition? By the way, there is no part number on the rods so they would have to be accurately measured.
