Goto link below,click on repower old equipment,select jd from mfg on left side of pg,look at notes for mod 57,you might try contacting them about a replacement eng or see if they know if kawasaki eng will fit,they may have an update on eng replacement,but haven't posted it in repower section. john deere [Reply]  [No Email]
