Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site and found this website while searching the internet for a replacement engine for my S185. In my search, I also found a site called Pilot Engines who sells light and medium duty diesel engines and they have an entire line up of Bobcat engines. http://www.pilotengines.com/servlet/StoreFront I was able to purchase a Kubota V2203 Tier 2 replacement engine for my machine at a great price and they offered FREE shipping on the engine and the core back. Obviously, that is probably some what built into the price, but the price is reasonable, warranty looks great, and they have been great to work with thus far, and shipping availability was next day. I just wanted to share what I hope is a great option for engine replacements and I will keep you all posted once the engine arrives. It should be here in a couple days. See you around the site.....looks like some great info on here!! Thanks Everyone!!

I did notice http://www.loaderpartssource.com/ are also offering engines, there are no prices up yet but i did e-mail them in regards to prices on parts to see if they are able to get rings and head gaskets.
I'm looking to see if i can get a good price on a head gasket and rings, i have 2 engines that need them.... Rings are rather expensive!

Tazza, You might want to check with Engine Rebuilders to see if you can buy pc parts through them. I know they sell some rebuild kits and such and they might be able to help you out at a reasonable cost. Just another option!!

Ok, so I received the engine and so far so good. Received just what I ordered. Core return process is very simple and fair in comparison to others I've seen. I would definitely recommend this company for your future replacements. Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding my experience. Thanks!
