Yes the Continental 226 was the original engine in the AG6.  However the welder engine will not likely have the same bellhousing arrangement as the AG6.  Also the since the Willys engine is not original some of the parts you need to install your 226 may not be in the tractor any more.

I think you can unbolt the back of the engine and put it on others. I took the back off my crank start AG and put it on an electric start AG. Theres like 6 bolts that hold it on.

Google SAE bellhousings or flywheel housings; ther're websites that show the various SAE commercial housings, as the Willys and Cont engines probably have one of the "commercial" sizes, and if not the same one that fits may be available.
Another point to consider is whether the welder engine will have the same timing/breathing/power curve as  one for the dozer. A welder engine, which tends to either idle or run in a very narrow RPM range under load, might-repeat,might-be less "flexible" than one for a dozer. Good luck.

Your welder engine will be better suited. The Jeep engine is an automotive engine uses a timing chain, no provision for the governor. The welder will be industrial engine with timing gears and governor provisions. How about a picture of the 2 engines?
