Progress Report:
Well, it's been busy. I looked back at the start of this thread and I see that I was hoping to complete this project by the end of the year. Well, that doesn't look promising for completing on time, but it still looks promising!
The Geo/Suzuki engine has a 68mm crankshaft end, the Kubota has a 72mm crank so I had to get a few millimeters lathed out at the local machine shop.
The Geo bolt holes line up close, but not quite. I had to elongate each of the holes minutely; hopefully 19hp won't tear it.
As it sits right now, I've got the adapter plate mated to the Kubota, the flywheel on the Kubota, and the transmission ready to begin the mating ritual...
