sorry, maybe not the perfect section to ask this, but limited activity in the Kubota lawn/garden section and I was hoping for more exposure & expertise here.

I have a Kubota T1560 riding mower with a broken block from the Kawi 14HP engine. Many John Deere mowers use same FC420V engine. There is a 15HP Kohler engine available that came out of a John Deere LT155. How hard would a swap out conversion be? relatively easy? complicated? do i need to get all the JD wiring & controls, or can I adapt to my Kubota?

thanks
