Seat Toledo Diesels have 1.9TD AAZs in them... with a JX (1.6TD T25) set of parts you can fit one of these relatively easily, just having to custom an exhaust, but based on JX layout...

If you have a very nice petrol T25 then don't spoil it by converting it to tractor engine, imho, just use it and enjoy it as it was built

Re: What engine will work (diesel)
I believe the head has a bolt in it???
Therefore, I purchased another petrol engine for spares but I have had a machanic look at it and he said it wasn't worth making two engines out of one????
Therefore, do I need a new engine???
