I am a pretty confident mechanic and have lots of tools (and we need a small skid steer) plus other heavy equipment if I need to fully disassemble it. I am also in no rush to have a working machine so if this does not work out I am in no rush. my other question is I run mostly diesel equipment and would rather have a diesel skid steer (but with the cost of skid steers the gas ones are the only I can afford). I found a Kubota diesel V2203 that works and was pulled from a refrigeration unit the guy is asking $1900 (that seems like a fair price). is it possible to swap this engine into the 610? Thanks</blockquote>
