Looking at picking up an older bobcat 500. Originally had the kohler 662 in it. PO (shop) said it blew the head gasket. Head removed, flywheel turns 1/4 turn in either direction and stops.

Also come with a Kubota d1105 3cyl diesel engine.

Looks like there's enough space to mount it. I have a metal lathe if I need to machine parts/adapters. But I'm wondering if anyone has done this swap, or has any helpful information.
