Should be a Kubota 2 cyl diesel engine. Kubota uses their own engines. Will be a vertical .

It's a 2 cylinder diesel for sure, but I'm pretty sure that it's a horizontal shaft engine. Judging from the pictures on the web.

She says it's drive shaft driven which would lead me to believe it's horizontal.

It's a horizontal, 13 HP 2 cylinder water cooled Diesel. It's shaft driven direct to a hydraulic transaxle, which is the weak link. I have one and the engine is going to go into my 1987 Power King as soon as I finish my Allis Chalmers 620 repairs. It is a very nice compact unit.

Would this be the same 2cyl diesel in the B6000 Kubota tractors?

I think they are the same. Same horsepower.
