Hello.
Need some guidance in selecting an engine for my newly acquired DLT 3000 917.273811. Neighbor gave me this mower and its in excellent shape. The only issue is that there is no motor in it. I know it originally came with the 31P777 Type 0296-E1 18.5 Intek OHV engine.
I am scouring ebay and craigslist for an engine...but i will be honest I am overwhelmed with all of the possibilities. Could anyone here give me some good advice on some possible replacement engines. What should I be looking for? I have seen alot of mention about shaft size and diameter...the only thing that he did give me was the double pulley from the original motor...
I have visions of the pulley not attaching correctly or not aligning with the position of the belts (shaft to short/long)..
I have seen some motors on CL (ex: 15hp Kohler OHV) as well as some part out LT2000s with various size engines.
Any and all help would greatly be appreciated. My last project was an old LawnRider that I still use...but that had a motor and I just needed to get it running. Here I need to find the right motor and am lost.
