The 207D will replace the 188 with absolutely NO modifications. I just put a 207D in my 580Ck. The old 188D had a rod hanging out the side of the block. The 207D has stronger rod journals than the 188D and a little more horsepower. As far as all 580Cks being able to handle a hoe? Yes. The weight capacity on the rear is the same on all the 580CKs. Front axle comes two ways - regular with 6 lug wheels, and heavy-duty with 8 lug wheels and larger wheel bearings and a larger diameter tie-rod (1 1/8" o.d. instead of 1" o.d.). If the 188 still turns over, and there isn't a gaping hole in the block, seems you ought to fix it. In regard to getting cranks fixed - I've never had a problem. I've had them ground to undersize, and a few spray-welded and ground to standard. I've seen exchange reground cranks for sale on the Web that are cheaper than what a crank-shop will charge you. Just for reference, I just rebuilt my neighbor's 188D. Engine kit was $520 - included sleeves, rings, pistons, complete engine gasket set, rods and main bearings, and new rod bolts. I did his head, wound up buying four new exhaust valves at $14 each. Old ones were too thin after refacing. Reseated and reset two injection nozzles, had to replace the other two at $72 each. Pulled the fuel injection pump apart and put a new seal kit, drive bushing, and governor weight retainer ring in it, i.e. more-or-less rebuilt the pump for $40 in parts. Sent the four rods to a machine shop to have the big ends checked and/or resized at $14 each. So, total job was somewhere around $820 in parts. Labor? Depends on what you can do, or who your friends are. I've got my own valve grinding and reseating equipment, and I do my own fuel injection work. Sending stuff out can get pricey.
