You can repower any tractor with any engine. You just have to be prepared to do the work to fabricate the conversion pieces. It's not going to be a simple bolt-in by any stretch of the imagination.

If it fits between the rails, you need to make an adapter plate to line up the crankshaft with the input shaft on the transmission, and bolt the engine to the bell housing. You'll also need to figure out how to mount the engine to the frame in front. Those will be your two biggest challenges.
