Engine swap between tx1500 and tx1300F possible??

[marcelPL]

I have 2 iseki's: the tx1500 (2wd) and a tx1300F (4wd)

Essentially they are completely the same. Even the parts manual shows this.

My tx1300F has been heavily over-used (because of the shape of my ground i need 4wd), and has run minimal 100 times more hours than my tx1500.

This shows in the state of the engines. The tx1500 is as good as new, and the tx1300F... Well let's say that is has been used.

For this reason i am considering swapping the engine between them: putting the tx1500 engine onto the tx1300F (and the other way around).

Has anybody ever tried this? Or can think of any reason why i should not do this?

thx,
M.

Are both Mitsubishi engines in those Iseki's?

Should all bolt up. Same as what I have. The only difference is my 4x4 is a 17 hp and the 2wd is 15hp. Can't swap internals but whole long block swap would be no issue

Yes they are exactly the same.
