I repowered #191 1966 vintage with a Kubota 20 h.p fresh water cooled diesel.I
am very satisfied after three years and 280 hrs later.The engine did not
just drop in place as some people will lead you to believe.This engine
came with shock absorbing mounts.I'm a welder by trade and I had to build
a new engine bed that sat on the old glass bed,this was built of steel
flat bar into a yoke looking thing that dropped down enough to recieve
engine and still line up couplings without cutting or making new longer
shaft.If you are not skilled at engine installations,don't even try it,on
your own.This engine with transmission is 26"long X 16" wide by 20 something
inches high.The engine compartment seems bare with this Kubota in it.I
turn a 12X6 two blade prop and run @2200 rpm for a 5+kntcruise.This is
a simple engine oil filter and impeller right in front.This came with a
two year 2000 hr warranty.I talked to some people before I bought,Kubota
engines are used extensively on generators,digging machines,tractors etc.I'm
not gonna tell you that they are the best around,but I don't think you'll
bet let down for the price..Three years ago $5400 for engine and hurt gear
2:1 and deluxe panel .This is my experience with Kubota and hope I've helped

<br>p.s I think the only engine that sits in exact replacement is an exact
replacement!!!!!
