I have always been curious about this topic.
Would any of the Kubota G & GF series or their other earlier Lawn & Garden diesel engines fit the older BX tractors? (Mine is a 2 cyl. BX1500 for reference).
I know my tractor is somewhat bastardized due to it actually being shorter than a standard BX but as an old Wheelhorse guy, we always saw how many different components would fit other model tractors through many model years before major changes are made.
I see these 3 cyl diesels in the G/GF heavy lawn mower line from the late 90's to early 00's and often wondered if they would bolt up to an early BX without massive modifications. (engine alignment, crankshaft diameters and length).
Mine is fine but you see the old mowers with running diesels in them for very little $$$ and I wondered if it would be worth buying one up to keep a reserve powerplant.
