After about 500 hours which include having been run hot by its previous owner, the 19 HP Kubota engine in my Kioti 1924 has just about had it. Severe blow-by, no power. I want to replace the 19HP 3 cylinder Kubota with a 4 cylinder, possibly turbocharged Kubota engine rated at between 25 and 35 HP. The drive train of the machine appears to be fully capable of handling the added power, especially in light of the fact that I will be using this machine to mow pastures.
My concern is in regards to the bolt pattern of the flywheel housing. Does anyone have any info on how I can find a 4 cylinder engine whose bolt pattern will match the existing 3 cylinder pattern?
