John Deere 100

Original Model: Briggs 8hp 190707
This series of 8hp engine is no longer made. Some of the 10 & 11 hp engines like this are larger than the 8hp and require you to leave off your side shields. If this is the same frame as the 111 tractor you can refer to the details listed on it. Engine shaft steps down from 1" to 7/8" and is 3-5/32" long from the mounting surface.

John Deere 108

Original Model: Briggs 8hp 190707

John Deere 110

Original Model: Various Models
If you currently have a Kohler 10hp K241 or 12hp K301, the only thing available is a shortblock. If you have a Kohler 8hp K181, a complete engine or shortblock is available and we need your spec number to find a shortblock.

John Deere 111

Original Model: Briggs 11hp
To re-power a John Deere 111 tractor, the following would apply: If your fuel tank is under the hood, you cannot use an engine with a recoil starter on it. The shortblocks have been discontinued. If the fuel tank is under the seat you could use any of the non-OHV engines listed here. You would also have to use your fuel pump and valve breather and notch a larger opening in the frame for the oil drain plug. If you have an electric clutch you will have to use the stator and regulator from your old engine.
You can use a non-OHV Briggs engine from 12-13.5hp on this tractor with the details above.The oil drain comes out at a slightly different angle, so you will have to enlarge the current oil drain pipe opening.
An OHV (Overhead Valve) engine will not work, due to the width of the engine and the muffler placement.

John Deere 316 - Kohler

Original Model: Kohler K341
John Deere 317
Original Model: KT17S 17hp Kohler
The 317 tractors are bad for the driveshafts going out on them. When replacing the engine you need to evaluate the driveshaft. If there is any play in it at all, it will cause the main bearing of the engine to go out, which would not be covered under warranty. The driveshafts typically last 1000-1200 hours.
If you change or have previously changed the driveshaft you may have to cut about 3/4" off of the flywheel stub shaft that your drive shaft slides on.

John Deere 317-Onan

Original Model: Onan B43
We do not have a kit for this tractor yet. This kit requires several other changes that the tractor with the Kohler does not have.Here are the differences between the 317 that came with the Kohler and the Onan engines: 1. Drive shaft hooks up different 2. PTO shaft is different size 3. Mounting is totally different between engines and frames 4. Muffler does not outlet in same area 5. Wiring is different.

I am told that you have to leave your hood off if you use the FD731V in this tractor.

John Deere 322

Original Model: Yanmar 3TG66UJ

John Deere 325

Original Model: Various Brands and Models
I have been told that this tractor came out with different engines, possibly a FC540V, FH531V, FH601V, and a Briggs 350777. You will have to go back with the same engine for it to match up right. The Kawasaki FC540V engine is no longer available.

John Deere 455

Original Model: Yanmar 3TNA72UJ3

John Deere 510

Original Model: Kawasaki 14hp FC420V
This tractor used the Kawasaki FC420V engine which was a great engine, however John Deere did not have any foresight in the way that they used this engine. John Deere purchased these engines from Kawasaki without the oil pan, then they set the engine down on top of the transmission to direct drive it. Needless to say, no other model of engine will fit on this machine.

John Deere 524 Tiller

Original Model: Tecumseh 5HP H50-65392K.
The main shaft on the original engine is 3/4"x2-5/16". The PTO shaft is 5/8"x1" This engine has been discontinued and there is nothing else that will directly replace it. You may be able to us a 6hp Briggs Intek OHV engine, however the height of the PTO shaft is shorter and you would have to change your PTO belt or raise the engine up and use the same PTO belt and get a longer main belt for it. You would also have to change your PTO pulley to make this work.

John Deere 525

Original Model: Kawasaki 17hp FC540V.
John Deere purchased these engines from Kawasaki without the oil pan, then they set the engine down on top of the transmission to direct drive it. Needless to say, no other engine besides the FC540 will fit on this machine. The original Kawasaki FC540V engine is no longer available.

John Deere 55

Original Model: V50 5hp Tecumseh.
There is no other brand that will fit in this mower, the engine requires a 7/8" diameter shaft. 5/25/2007 The Tecumseh engine made for this is no longer available. You could possibly use the V70 or the tvm140 if you change your pulley.

John Deere 56

Original Model: V60 6hp Tecumseh.
There is no other brand that will fit in this mower, the engine requires a 7/8" diameter shaft. 5/25/2007 The Tecumseh engine made for this is no longer available. You could possibly use a V70 or a tvm140 if available.

John Deere 60 Skid Loader

Original Model: Kohler Various
I have now been told that there were more than one particular engine used in this loader. You will have to go back with the engine style that came out of yours for it to fit correctly. Two of the numbers that were used were Kohler KT17 24132 & K321S-60285 The KT17 engine and shortblock are no longer available. You can use a Kohler Magnum 18-20HP with a 1 1/8" x 3 25/32" shaft by changing a few things. The mounting holes will be the same The wiring will be a little different, but not difficult, the Magnum is Magneto Ignition and the KT is battery ignition The K341 engine has 1-1/4" pipe threads, the K321 had 1". You can use a pipe bushing You cannot change from a single cylinder to a twin cylinder without major changes.

John Deere 624 Tiller

Original Model: H60 Tecumseh
The original engine had a 3/4 x 2 1/4" main shaft and a second 5/8" pto shaft to run reverse. You may be able to use the Briggs engine listed with two shafts however you will probably have to buy a new belt and pulley because the shaft height for the second shaft will be lower than your current second shaft and the second shaft on the new engines is 1/2" diameter. Please note: If you buy an engine without the extra PTO shaft on it your reverse will not work.

John Deere 65

Original Model: TVM125 5hp Tecumseh.
There is no other brand that will fit in this mower, I am unsure of the shaft size on this one. If you have a 1" x 3 5/32" shaft you could possibly use the tvm140-70343. If you have a 7/8" x 3 5/32" shaft you could use our TVM125-783532 engine.

John Deere 650

John Deere 66

Original Model: V60 6hp Tecumseh
Original model number was V60-70289j There is no other brand that will fit in this mower, I am unsure of the shaft size on this one. Note; if you have a 1 x 3 5/32" shaft you could possibly use the V70-125217 or the tvm140-70343.

John Deere 68

Original Model: Briggs 8hp 190707
Uses a standard 1" diameter shaft, and the fuel tank on the engine.

John Deere 717

Original Model: Kawasaki 19hp FH601V.
I have been told that the FH601V-BS17 has a 1"x3-5/32" shaft on it. I have also been told that this unit came with a FH601V-AS32 with a 1 1/8ö x 4 3/8ö shaft You need to measure your shaft to verify that before buying anything. You may have to change wiring or some other little things when using either of these engines.

John Deere 725

Original Model: FD590V
The FD590V and FD611V engines have been discontinued.

John Deere 727

Original Model: Kawasaki 23hp FH680V

John Deere 750

Original Model: Yanmar 3T80UJ

John Deere 755

Original Model: Yanmar 3tna72uj
No idea what engines may fit in this tractor. Engines made by Yanmar are made to John Deere specs and a normal Yanmar engine is usually different.

John Deere 757

Original Model: Kawasaki 25hp FH721D.
You need to find out your shaft size and whether you even use it before buying anything for it. If you buy the FH721D Kawasaki you will likely have to make some wiring changes to get this to work on this mower
If you buy the Kawasaki FH770D engine listed here are a couple of the changes that we know you will have to make to it:
1. The Flywheel side PTO shaft will have to be removed and use your current one
2. The new engine has a bendix starter on it without a solenoid, you can either add a separate solenoid (such as our Solenoid-1 below) or use your current starter.

John Deere 777

Original Model: Kawasaki 29hp DFI FD791D-BS02
The shaft used on this mower was a 1-1/8"x3-3/4".

John Deere 797 Z-Track

This engine is fuel injected has a 1-1/8" x 3-3/4" shaft.
This unit is driven off of both sides of the engine. PTO for the deck is driven by the crankshaft, while the hydrostatic pump is driven from the flywheel side (stub shaft).
If you use any of the FD791D engines listed here, there may be minor differences. You will need to reuse some of your old engine parts, as parts would be interchangeable.

If you purchase a recoil start engine you would have to use your flywheel, starter, alternator to make the engine electric start.
If you purchase an engine with the canister style air breather you would probably have to use the air breather of the old engine to fit in this tractor.
