The info I have on the JD 316 indicates that it used both the Kohler K341 16hp single and the Onan 16 twin. I know the cost of an overhaul by a dealer can be more then the tractor is worth. They charge $40-$60 per hour and mark up the parts 50-100%. I have overhauled more then a dozen K series Kohlers (singles). I have been using aftermarket parts from Stens corp with good results and they are a fraction of the cost of OEM. If you have a good block and crank and are mechanically inclined, you should be able to do a complete overhaul yourself. Basic tools including a torque wrench and Kohler service manual(about $15) will be required. Parts including piston, rings, rod, valves, gaskets, side bearings, etc will run around $300. The cost of boring/honing and crank grinding at your local automotive machine shop will run about $150. If the valve guides need replaced add another $50. All in all the complete job will cost about $500 if you do the disassembly/assembly work yourself. This is for a Kohler single not a twin. If you decide to purchase a complete new engine, the Kohler Magnum twin will be a good replacement. Good luck.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
