Repairing Drilled Engine Block

[Husaberger]

Agreed. I'd be more worried and pissed about the time I wasted in rebuilding a questionable block, not worrying about serial numbers.

If you want a spare motor, I'd be shopping for one out of a junked tractor, before ever pouring time and money into a drilled block with a spun main bearing.

Got a good spare kubota V2403 engine you wanna sell me?

Get a new core be on the safe side.

Got a good, cheap one to sell?

Got a good spare kubota V2403 engine you wanna sell me?

haha... nope! Is it a hard one to find?

I just opened a search window, and entered "tractor salvage kubota V2403 engine", and the first few hits showed rebuild kits at $500, used engine at $1900, and new engine at $2800. If truly available, I couldn't see putting machine shop hours + my hours + $500 rebuild kit + $500 in other random parts and consumables, all into an engine I could replace for under $3k.

Is this pricing valid, or bogus?
