Yanmar 3tnv 82A rebuild kit

[jd4310man]

I have a yanmar 3tnv82A that needs rebuilt. I was looking up parts on john deere parts and they are expensive! I looked on ebay and the only parts available on there is from china. Has anyone any experience with these chinese rebuild kits on ebay? Should i gamble on the chinese kit or stay with the oem parts? Is there any other aftermarket parts available for these tnv engines?

Have you checked Hoyes, I'm sure that engine is used in Yanmar tractors, but on the site they only go by tractor model numbers, not engine numbers. Call them up, they'll probably be able to help you out.

Again Jeff.. the thread is over 1 year old..
I wish I'd seen it THEN.. I think its funny.. "stay w/ OEM?".. JD DIDNT make the engine, Yanmar did.. Yanmar is a Japanese company.. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an "overseas" kit.. cuz THATS OEM.. lol
& everyone know JD marks their prices up 1000x to the end user..
