EGADS...
I'm looking at a BX24 now and this is sending chills down my spine. I've been looking for a while too and this is the first I've heard of this. Doesn't the BX24 have the exact same engine as the 23??? Thought I read somewhere someone sayd it even says BX23 on the 24 engine. Can't see them redesigning an entire engine for this new model, modifications maybe but I'm sure the block and the rest of the core are the same on both.
I'm a big fan of Kubota's and have relatives in the construction business that swear by them, a buddy of mine has a "B" series with over 3000 hours on it with no motor problems...these things are suppose to be tanks. Little comfort to you I'm sure.
Being a ex-mechanic I can also tell you a blown engine is a rare...on pretty much anything, especially the hours you describe. As stated before the minimum I would want is a new engine. Your engine has been stressed to the max with this failure and I'm sure something else will give out earlier than expected. If this is not fixed to your satisfaction, I'd start sending out registered mail!!!
