I have a worn out 17hp engine. id like to replace that engine with a diesel. Has anyone put a yanmar from a 455 or something in a 317? maybe a kubota?

| You'd be better off buying the whole tractors the diesel comes in originally and just buy a used 18 or 20 HP magnum Kohler to put in the 317.

| | The most popular repower for older hydrostat garden tractors is the Briggs Vanguard, followed by the Honda engines. If you are stuck on a diesel, you might look for ideas at a 332, which is a little Yanmar diesel in the same footprint as the 317. I know a couple guys have put Kubota engines from refrigeration units in garden tractors but I don't have a link to give you.

| Thanks for the responses guys. Before I pull the engine. Can the pressure feed cranks be purchased? If so maybe I can swap cranks out and rebuild the original engine. Any thoughts?

| | There are other differences in the blocks. The Series One cannot be made into a Series two. Inadequate oil pump, oil galleries, pressure relief valve etc. go to the Kohler web site, download the manuals and compare oiling systems.

| A good machinist could drill the crank you have but you still wouldn't have much oil flow or pressure. A Magnum 18 is very similar to a Phase II KT-17 with electronic ignition. That's an easy changeover.
