Havent seen much good on the internet about this.. but has anyone repowered a j.d. 425? they say to replace with a vanguard air cooled....dont really like that option..any help is apprectiated..rebuild isnt option as rod through block..

Can you replace apples with apples? In other words, another water cooled Kawasaki like I think it has now? Not cheap, but its an option.

I would look for used motor. The JD 425 does not have an economical new replacement engine for it. The JD 425s can be bought in good shape in the $2000-2500 range. The cheapest Kawasaki repower I have seen is over $3000.

So buy a used motor or block and overhaul it for your mower.

block, crank, rods and pistons on ebay now. A rebuild would be cheaper and faster than a repower.

I don't know where you are, but there is an engine for that in the Waterloo Iowa Craigslist today, 700 hours $1200
