Actually, looking at the pure, simple economics of it, the reman engines are probably about as good as you'll get if you're paying somebody to do the work. Even at a very modest shop rate you can run one awful bill doing an engine. For somebody with basic skills that could change an engine, or even the half day to have it done on that tractor.... and end up with a guarnteed engine.... it makes a person think. They once published the prices of those things on the website, but I see they're no longer there. The link that Wayne posted shows a 333 that should fit that tractor for something like 4600 bucks, reman.... I wouldn't want to guarntee somebody that I'd reman one of those little blue buggers for that and stand behind it for a year. Not that you can't rebuild for less.... but sometimes you win...sometimes not. Rod
