Hello Everyone,

I was thinking that there would be more of a difference on the leak down numbers compared to the compression differences. I will pull the heads and see how things look. I will also keep my eye out for another LT17 series 2. I will follow up with my results. Is there another motor alternative out there that I could use without to many alterations.

 

Thanks,

Bob

Any KT17 will have to be Wheel Horse spec.  Engines from other brands don't have the thrust bearing needed for the PTO.   An M16 or K431 would be a good repower option.  Based on the hours I'm pretty confident your engine is repairable.  Please post some pictures if you can once you have the heads off.
