Frank,
My dad and I built a 317 from a basket case last summer we put the 18hp honda engine kit from SEW. it was a great kit, the engine has lots of power and it RUMBLES! We took it to Bryan Sewards plowday last April and it never ran out of power. My suggestions would be:
1. if you don't have the tools to make a kit(like me) buy a 23hp briggs kit from Sew or buy a kohler kit from ?Pruitt engines.
2. you could build a kit like Andre did if you have the tools
3. You could send the tractor to a local small engine shop and have them build you a kit
4. You could send the tractor to your local Deere dealer and have them build you a kit
here are some pictures of it(there is also one in my profile)
