I need to replace the engine block on my L260. Finding one is proving to be difficult.

So I was wondering, is the mounting flange at the transmission a common size? Maybe I could source a newer engine, something that may have better availability for parts.

Any thoughts, ideas?

Give me pictures of the Flange or motor side and I'll tell you if there is any chance.
If it looks like there may be a chance I'll get some measurements from you.
I wouldn't hold my breath as that is an odd duck of a motor and bellhousing setup.

Have you talked with Lance (007Kubotaguy) he might have or know where to find what your looking for.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll shoot some pics later this week, and get them up.

And no, I haven't talked with that guy, but it looks like I should.

Sorry to hear that Racer X. Hope Wolfman or 007 can help. I don't think these have as much in common with other sizes. Hope mine keeps going. Just aired up the tires after the Looong winter.
