I have a L2900, got it with a hole on the block at only 300 hours, the hole is just above the starter and it looks like the rod broke and banged around good inside before it found an exit. I need a complete engine replacement, to make things easy, unless I find a short block with good crank etc that I can just bolt my upper parts on. From looking around I think a 1503 1703 maybe an 1803 will work best. Any help on what engines to look for is greatly appreciated.
L2900 engine choices??

The D1703 is a Industrial engine so it's won't work for a tractor, no hydraulic drive cam.
You need to be careful there is several styles and uses of D1503, D1703, D1803
There are industrial use, gen use and ag use.
You must get an engine for AG use as others will not have a cam to run the hydraulics.
Some will not have variable speed or proper speed.
There is also IDI and DI engines in all those models, IDI parts do not cross over to DI engines and vice versa.
