Alternate engine suggestions, 16-20HP, for JD 317


[ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Forum ]

Posted by Dave CO on April 06, 2002 at 04:48:51 from (198.81.16.172):

Knowing that I will have to replace the ser.1 Kohler on my 317JD, I would like to get suggestions on alternate engines that others have had good luck with. It frustrates me to no end that they want sooo much $ for the ser 2 Kohler! I have a sm. machine shop at home (lathe, tig and mig welder, sheet metal brake....)and am a mechanic by trade. I can adapt most any engine that would fit under the hood. A 2 cyl diesel sounds interesting, but I dont know why. I would just like to have a smooth, quite and dependable engine to install, that would cost a bit under the $1400-1500 that they want for the Kohler. The 317 is used mostly for mowing, draging the pasture with spike harrow, and pulling the horse and car trailers around the property. The grass is very light here (read, desert)so the HP requirements are a bit over stated. The ser 1 engine should last the rest of the summer (scored and or cracked piston on the rt side), so it is time to start shopping for the replacement engine now. If you were to build the 317 of your dreams, what engine would you use?
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Dave

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
