What kind do you want?? I've seen them with a Buick V6, a Wisconsin twin and some others in them...
WD has a frame so almost any will work, with some work...

Nothing will bolt right in, pretty much any of them will work, with some work!

Perkins 4-236 or 4 cylinder B series Cummins. Gonna be right much more motor than it originally had, though.

You definitely want something with a governor on it. Most diesels should have one. Automotive engines will fall on their nose, unless you find an old 6 cyl. truck engine with a gov. Or, put a belt type driven governor on it.
An adapter plate will have to be made to fit between the engine block, and your tractors clutch bell housing. Depending on what the engine is off of, the crankshaft may need to be bored, and a proper bushing inserted for the input shaft, to keep it in place. Then some sort of cross member across the front of the engine to carry it. Then comes to adapting to the original radiator, or replacing it, to be able to cool the engine properly. In the long run, if you have to have all of those pieces made, it'd be less expensive to rebuild the engine in it, with a lot less hassle.

It's a lot of work, but I see them at shows, fairly often,
Buying a bigger tractor, IS the real solution!
