I bought a Bobcat 610, it has a Kohler confidant 4 generator engine in it at the moment. There is another engine that came with it, that needs a distributor, which the guy says he could not obtain. The old engine he believed is a Kohler as well. I have had a look on it for any markings, that I could get a clue, but cannot see anything. So I am here with some pics of it, and maybe someone here can identify it for me. I believe the older engine would be a better fit for the Bobcat, with more power, but not sure. So would be greatly appreciated if anyone can give me a clue as to what this engine is..

Sorry I don't have info on that engine.
However, quite a few of the Bobcat 610s had Wisconsin V4 engines. I think the smaller size. Anyway, there are a lot of the old Wisconsin engines out there.
Balers? Other farm equipment?

The images are not of the confident 4 engine. That is in the bobcat at this time. Although it does work it needs a bit of modification, and does seem to lack power.
The pics above are of the old engine that he took out of the Bobcat, that he believes to be a Kohler as well. Just trying to get some idea as to what exactly it is, so I may find a distributor for it.
I am sure this Bobcat 610 originally had the Wisconsin v4 with 30 Hp, but that is long gone. I am considering if all else fails to order a v twin 27hp gas new to install in it. Still trying to find a suitable used engine to install, but not having much luck in locating anything that can be fitted.

If you have facebook you might want to join the Melroe Owners group, otherwise you might try skidsteer forum; better support for the old clutch machines on the fb page though.
