I've got a 1969 Case 222 I repowered last winter and saved from a scrap pile. I stuck a Predator 420 13hp hemi engine in. When I got it the original 12hp kohler was long gone and had a old worn out briggs. I had to do ALOT of fabrication and tinkering to get it to all work. It's not original at all it was cut alot and beaten. I've slowly gotten it to look alot nicer and somewhat good looking. I repainted it Allis orange and Massey Grey. It is my snow pusher/ puller the real mule of my fleet. I love the hydraulic drive. They are great machines and super easy to maneuver and operate. . I just last week picked up a 1978 John Deere 316K that was a dead on arrival. Got it running its a almost all original machine and will be my mowing machine for years and years to come. Needs a little work but definitely worth it to me. I found online a repower solution from this John Deere when the time comes if I ever need to replace the 16hp Kohler in it I can stick a 18hp Briggs vtwin that is plug and play from a reputable company for $1800 which is steep but a good solution considering I'll be keeping this machine for as long as I can as it's built to last and a dream machine of mine.
I still have all of the "bits and pieces" to the original B43 (16hp) engine that came out of the tractor. My plan is to rebuild it and store it away for a "rainy day". If something ever happens (Highly unlikely!) to the new B48 engine, I will have one ready to go. It will be a very easy and quick swap! Congratulations on your machine! It sounds great!
