[QUOTE="Tigerhaze, post: 81790, member: 6436"] Is part of the problem of finding parts is that you are calling it a V4HD instead of VH4D? I'm not picking on your spelling but that would definitely make it hard to find it on parts websites. You should be able to find most of the VH4D parts from Wisconsin engine part suppliers in your local area- you may have trouble with carb parts and such with EPA emissions crackdowns but the basic engine parts (pistons, etc.) should be available. Here is their website for regional parts suppliers: [URL]http://www.wisconsinmotors.com/distributors/[/URL] The problem I see with repowers is that they are not always a “direct bolt in” replacement; my understanding from talking to and reading other's posts is that some reconfiguration of motor mounts and other components are sometimes needed to fit in the engine compartment. Also while the repower engine may have a similar horsepower, it doesn't mean the torque curve is similar. This may or may not be an issue on running a hydrostatic system but wanted to point that out.
