Replacement motor for a 7117

[casinojim 83]

A friend lent out the  tractor  and came back like this but he got a motor in the shop but not sure what HP or if it will fit

Looks like it is a series 2 KT motor of 17 or 19 hp but can't tell for sure. Looks pretty rough.

THE last picture is the 17 in the tractor with hole in the block

Ok...my mistake. Sorry about that chief.

18 or 20 Magnum.

If the engine is good, swap all the tin & rewire the key switch.

The first 4 pictures are an 18 or 20 hp Magnum.  If it's a good engine, the tin can be switched & the key switch replaced or rewired & it will work just fine.

Looks like With oil filter might not fit

You will need to trim the frame slightly (about 1/2" or less) to accommodate the filter.  I am running a M20 in all three of my 900/7100 series tractors.

You will need to find the plastic fins for the flywheel to have cooling. 

The tin from a KT will work but you will need to remove the baffling in the fan shroud, for the mag/electronic ignition to fit.
