[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 1881, Issue 1-- engine replacement

[C Spalding]

I install a Beta 16,  some engine bed work to make it fit and the engine 
control cables are  difficult to install in the correct moving position as 
the motor is from England -- still the space is tight so thought on water 
strainer and Racor fuel filter should not be taken lightly
engine parts are cheaper as u can buy from a Kabota dealer (ie Kooy 
brothers)
Over all the motor is reliable and easy to service everything except the 
transmission is up front, the built in oil pump is a plus
Received good advice from Stanly for engine size prop shaft etc.
