Funny! My Kubota is repower with a B&S and the OEM engine was a Kohler.

Those engine are pretty easy to swap with minus mod. Go ahead and drop your Dad engine, this give you time to repair or find another "Candidate".

Just one note...Hydro gear and Tuff Torque tranny have specific max HP they can handle so even if a cheap powerful V-twin can fit under the hood it may not be a good match and toast the tranny.
