Hi all. Even though this is only my second post, I read and learn so much from these forums. I have a 2006 B7800 which I love dearly. The other day, the engine started cutting out as I was using it. If I stop quick enough, it will keep running. Otherwise, it would stall. My first thought was the fuel filter so I changed it. But in order to do this, I removed the side panel. It was full of oil. Upon looking at the engine, I noticed a hole blown out on the side right below the injectors! What in the world would have caused this and how pricey is it to fix? Looks like its on a square plate thats bolted on. I am a widow with not much money but I really need to get this repaired. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Sounds like a connecting rod! Any pictures? Would help the "experts" give you an estimate

The only thing I see with a square plate on side of engine is the throttle control mechanism. Hopefully it is just a small repair.
Hi again- if finally stopped raining here in Maine. Here are the pictures of the hole in my kubota.

That is the throttle control. Hopefully that is all that is wrong. You may not want to run it any more in case parts fell into engine.

The way that hole is formed, something came from inside the motor to the outside. That doesn't look good at all.
