That was a big issue when I swapped in the v2203. I was lucky enough to find the correct cam (used) on eBay.

Since I'm short on time and really need the tractor, I'm probably just going to buy another used refer engine and put it in. I doubt I can do any level of rebuild any cheaper. Thanks everyone for the help.

Ok, I finally found enough time to get the oil pan off... what a PITA. I found what appears to be both halves of a thrust bearing in the pan. Should I assume this has caused enough damage to at least require turning the crank and replacing the bearings?

I wish it could be that easy, the first two things I removed were the starter and belt. Not by any wisdom, just thought I might have a bad starter at first, then needed more room to get to the front of the engine. Thanks everyone for your help, keep it coming. Rob

Ok, I had few people do the sniff test on the oil. They said it just smelled like used oil to them. (I can't smell anything, so I have to rely on others) I found nothing in the oil filter. Everything looks normal under the valve cover. Pulled the hydraulic pump, it seems ok and the engine...

After taking the vent of the side of the clutch housing, it could have used a little adjustment on the bolts on the fingers of the clutch. Many of you will not approve of my methods, but there was no way I was splitting the tractor again (unless I absolutely had to). I removed about 3/32" of...

I wanted to see if anyone had an suggestions before I get too deep into this. I have less than 10 minutes on my new dual stage clutch in my L2850. The problem is with the clutch linkage adjusted now to where the lever hits the gear case, the clutch is still not fully disengaging. is it...

Quick background: I bought the tractor with a bad motor. After an exhaustive search for a v1702 or v1902 in good condition, I settled for a low hour v2203. Now the problem: the injection pump cam must be changed to a shaft with the splined end to operate the hydraulic pump. I swapped in...
