I have no idea if that engine would fit. There are standard SAE patterns so I wouldn't be surprised if there were standard bolt patterns for metric engines. Somewhere that info exists. Hollander years ago used to publish axle and transmission references for medium and heavy truck applications. You could look up something and find out what ratios, etc. were available. They stopped updating the manuals but the old ones are still around.
I've always been amazed by the info folks who work in truck and equipment parts yards have. Likewise the shops that rebuild diesel engines on a large scale have info that's not exactly found at the local library. There's times I've been looking for info only to be told by parts places it doesn't exist except by application only to run on to someone who pulls a book out from under the counter with the exact info I need.
If g is persistant, he'll be successful. If he gives up easily and only relies on Kubota to solve his problem, It may not get solved without spending the $8,000+. Kubota can do a parts search for a complete engine in inventories at their dealers and elsewhere. That might turn up a new old stock (NOS) engine sitting in a corner someplace.
Everytime I've been looking for an odd part, I've found that those searches can be run but sometimes the counter people won't volunteer to check for the part in anything other than their inventory and the factory's.
If g would post all the s/n's, maybe we could have a contest to see who could find an engine first.
