yep the JD. I wasn't sure if there was a brand that I should be looking for or one to stay away from. I have the catalog from Steiner so I'll call them and see if they have one available for my engine. Thanks for the response.
Due to the fact that the JD 970 engine has no liners I doubt a rebuild kit is offered. I didn't locate a rebuild kit in JD parts catalog. You could check with Yanmar for parts for 4TN82 engine .
I'm seeing quite a few options on ebay but they are from chinese manufacturers and tbh I'm a little concerned about using some unknown brand although that is most likely what it will be.
