Hoping someone has a better path than the one I am currently headed down. My crank and case are toast. Not sure how it happened and the dealer says its very rare. Oh well luck is not with me.
I had a backyard mechanic split the tractor and pull block apart. Took it to the dealer and then the machine shop the local dealer uses. Consensus between the two was I need a new crankcase and crank. Ugh.
OK so here is my question. Dealer wants about 6K for the two parts. Ouch. I can find v2403 used engines for less than half that. Problem is the engine seems to be a weird variant. V2403-M-ES03 and the parts are hard to locate. Someone said it was due to the L5030 tractor coming with balance shafts and most v2403 engines don't come with them.
So I appologize if this makes no sense. I am not a mechanic and most of this info is second hand.
Love to find a used set but need to be sure to get the right part and one supplier I found told me all v2403-m crankcases were the same. Glad I didn't get that one because after inspecting pictures we noticed there were no provisions for the balance shafts.
Anyway, the local dealer gave me the following part numbers. Crank
1g851-23020 case 1a091-01017. Maybe there are other part numbers that are more common and would work with my application. Maybe it is what it is. Hope someone has better news for me. Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can bestow on me.
