Hi everyone,
Brand new to the forum and to the world of Kubota tractors. I recently picked up a 1997 t1760 with coolant in the combustion chamber. The rest of the tractor is in mint condition. I was told by the seller that it would be an easy task to swap the motor for a Briggs.
I have began disassembling the engine, so that I may have a closer look. If the block is not cracked, and the cylinders aren't scorched up, I plan to rebuild the top end for a quick flip.
My question is how would I go about finding the correct fitting engine? Also would there be any alterations necessary besides mounting to the frame?
I've worked on many small engines but this is my first Tractor.
