m 700 engine compatibility

[dlancin]

Does any one know what engines are compatibly with a bobcat m700, I have a wisconsin vh4d and I don't feel like tinkering with it. I also don't want to buy a new wiscosin engine cause that will run me $4,000. Is there a cheaper Alternative, for example rebuilding the engine I have. Does anyone have any clue what that would cost. Thanks

Look at this one http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/grd/1101503376.html A good friend has a 720 with a 3 cylinder mitsubishi diesel from a toro mower. Getting a 3 cylinder diesel seems like a good fit. Dump the Wisconsin as you will be much happier with the diesel. Another alternative is a gasoline powered 4 cylinder from a small car. As long as you can adapt the coupler, and fit a radiator, the possibilities are endless. 700 series is a really great machine.
