[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 117705, member: 3290"] I have to agree with the previous comments - I see 3 choices: 1. Find another VH4D that is serviceable / rebuildable - sliding scale of expense 2. Find the Deutz setup out of a 611 - a bit of a rarity these days 3. Go with the Small Engine Warehouse re-power - more of a sure-thing Anything else is going to represent a big compromise. A 610 is not the most user friendly machine in the first place (I am partial to hydrostatic machines), going with an under powered engine is not going to help. I don't see there being a slam-dunk economical way out of this, skimping on the engine is only going to hurt the resale value, if and when you do try to sell it. FWIW - I just overhauled a VE4 on an old baler on the cheap - there are parts out there, you just have to scrounge for them. Ebay is your friend, once you have the part numbers of the parts you are looking for. HTH [/QUOTE]
