Not mine, just figured I'd pass it along. Guy says the engine was stolen!

Stolen, Hmmmm, Uh Huh, yep , sure. I think he had the engine pulled and rebuilt, then got the bill and decided not to pay or couldn't afford to pay - but stolen, hard to believe.

I think that guy has a 4000lb paper weight on his hands, Good for parts if you have one, or at least worth the loader if you need one. But to fix it, I don't think would be worth it.

You beat me to it.

Kubota sells there engines complete with most all parts. This might turn into a great deal. Other wise might need to find a reefer sitting on the side of the road.

Sure when all else fails, smoke up! Or maybe that was the problem why the OP couldn't spell Kubota correctly to begin with... I personally have a rule not to buy things from people who can't even spell them right (unless it's just TOO good a deal to pass up).

For some reason when reading the local classifieds I have noticed that a LOT of people spell Kubota as "Kabota".

What is up with that anyway?

 

[john_bud]

It's the person at the paper that writes it down from the phone call. I've dealt with some that couldn't spell.

The way most around here say it, Kabota would be correct, if you sound it out LOL

Not sure about their engine pricing, but if it was a Kioti and you did your own work you could put it back together for around 4k.
That includes a new clutch too.
Might be worth checking out anyway.

2007 price for replacement engine D1703E2A from K(a/u)bota is $4615.00

I'd have to wonder how bad off the rest of the machine is if he managed to kill a Kubota diesel in 7 years. Or maybe it was a Kabota....you know, made in China, painted orange.....
