[QUOTE="999patton, post: 129364, member: 23821"] Hello I'm new to the form and have been reading alot of old posts but not really finding an answer to my problem. So I have a 743 bobcat that had a kubota V1702 that threw a rod.... 3 big holes in the block it's trash. I was going to find a block and do a rebuild but pulled the head and it's cracked... wasn't a big surprise after lots of reading seems pretty common on the V1702. I got a ford 1.6 fiesta engine and the 742 mounting plate from a buddy for free and found a flywheel from a older pinto or ? not really sure. Bolts up fine to the crank with a .250 spacer and I got the fan that uses the dowel pins and that bolts on fine no problem. The body has the holes for the mounting plate already in it. So I measured everything and the coupler lines up no problem. The problem I'm stumped on is finding a starter. The one that is listed for a 742 will bolt on to the mounting plate but won't work with the ring gear. So did bobcat use a different ring gear than what the car would use? The one I have is 11.250 OD and has 135 teeth (I am a machinist so measurements are accurate), Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave [/QUOTE]
