Default WG750 25 h.p. Kubota in a 1572?

I have a 25 hp gas Kubota WG750 and a 1572 that runs great, but thinking of doing an engine swap. I know the water pump is about 1 1/2" higher but I don't think that should be an issue being towards the rear with the radiator up front. I was also thinking of using a electric fan for the radiator as the engine has a 30 amp alternator on it. Is there anything else I may need to know before jumping in?

With the water pump 1 1/2 inches higher, there will be interference with the battery tray in the 1572. The pump pulley on the stock D600 only clears the underside of the tray by a half inch or so. I would look closely at the lower radiator hose routing. The lower hose on a D600 /1572 snakes around pretty tightly under the engine cradle and onto the water pump. See what path the bigger engine must use. Also, your throttle cable from the 1572 will be way too short to reach the carb on the WG750. That's all that comes to mind right now, but I'll bet you'll have some more issues to address. How about air intake/air cleaner?

Thank's Doc! These are the kind of things I need to check on before jumping in. The tractor is stored away for winter right now so not easy to look under the hood and measure everything. I have been following your 1572 build and looking at the pictures closely. I thought about placing this engine in one of my 2182's but the water pump/fan would create issues and no room for an electric fan. The overall engine is the same length at the crank and 1/4" taller than a D600. Red power round up is in Dakota next year so I want to have my project done for it. Thinking of doing a total rebuild and painting it Red with "2582 Special" on it (get it, 582 special with a 25 h.p. kubota). This will probably offend some but I see 982D,s and turbo supers running around. I just want something a little different, but want it to look stock.

I think it's a cool project. Let me know if there's anything I can help with, measure, etc.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
