[QUOTE="Wayne440, post: 121634, member: 15549"] I respectfully offer 2 pieces of advice- (1) To me, "engine compression" by itself is not an issue that would make me replace an engine, particularly when you are not much below the Kubota overhaul figure (I think that is 327 pounds for your V1702). More important, how does it start and run? It is using or losing lube oil? How does it sound? (2) If "ROI" is your goal and the machine is useable as it is, my advice is to stop the "I" part, realize there will be less than satisfying "R" and sell ASAP even if you lose money. Sinking a bunch of money into a machine before selling is practically never a money maker, and if you put it to work after spending serious coin on it you may face another costly repair before finding a buyer - then you are even further down the "R" scale.
