I'm about to tear down the engine in my L275. I don't yet know the extent of the damage, but it it sounds like it may have spun a bearing or damaged a piston. Cranking over it, you can hear compression-compression-clunk......compression-compression-clunk. Anyway I'm looking at parts and a crankshaft and rods looks pretty expensive for Kubota parts (if they're even available). If there are quality aftermarket parts I'm not against that, but I don't know what a good quality aftermarket engine part brand is for tractors. I have rebuilt numerous automotive engines so the labor does not bother me, but the time to get the tractor up and going has me considering a replacement engine. With that all said, I have a couple of questions:
What are the quality manufacturer's of replacement engine parts (if any)?
What engines will directly (or almost directly) swap with the D3102A?
