Repower Specialists Custom Kit Program
Custom repower solutions when a standard kit doesn’t exist
When a standard repower kit isn’t available for your equipment, Repower Specialists offers a Custom Kit Program designed for commercial equipment that requires a more tailored solution. This program is built for situations involving discontinued, obsolete, or hard-to-source engines where a direct replacement isn’t available.
Our Custom Kit Program focuses on commercial applications in the 13–38 horsepower range and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by experienced technicians.
What Is the Custom Kit Program?
The Repower Specialists Custom Kit Program provides application-specific repower solutions for equipment that falls outside of our standard kit catalog. Instead of forcing a one-off fabrication approach, we use proven components, in-house inventory, and technical expertise to develop a reliable solution for your specific machine.
Each project begins with a technical review of your equipment to determine feasibility, compatibility, and the most effective repower path forward. This comes from the hands‑on experience Repower Specialists has built since 1988.
Equipment and Engines We Commonly Support
Many of the machines we see are older, discontinued, or difficult to identify. That's exactly the kind of situation this program handles. Our Custom Kit Program supports a wide range of commercial equipment and engine platforms and is not limited to specific brands or models.
Examples of equipment and engines we commonly support include:
Common equipment brands
- John Deere
- Exmark
- Toro
- Bobcat
- Scag
Common engine platforms
- Onan
- Wisconsin
- Kohler
- Honda
- Vanguard
If your equipment falls outside these examples, our team can still evaluate it during the initial review. Many Custom Kit Program projects involve legacy, obscure, or specialty machines that fall outside standard catalogs.
How the Custom Kit Process Works
-
Initial Consultation
You’ll start with a Repower Specialists sales team member who gathers key details and coordinates the review process with our technical team. -
Application Review
Your information is reviewed by our technical team to evaluate feasibility, available components, and compatibility. If a custom solution is the right fit, we move forward. -
Custom Kit Development
Depending on complexity and parts availability, development may take as little as 24–72 hours. Timelines vary by application. -
Delivery and Support
Your custom kit ships with installation guidance and unlimited technical support, giving you direct access to experienced technicians throughout the installation and setup.
Why Customers Choose a Custom Repower Instead of Buying New
For many commercial operators, replacing an entire piece of equipment can cost $10,000–$50,000 and still only delivers one engine life.
A custom repower solution often provides:
- Another full engine life at a significantly lower cost
- A lower cost per hour of operation
- Continued use of equipment you already know and trust
- Precision-fit components built for repeatable performance
Unlike one-off fabrication performed by local shops, Repower Specialists design and produce components at scale. Our parts are CNC-machined or laser-cut, resulting in tighter tolerances and more consistent fitment than what you typically get from one-off work.
With thousands of repower solutions designed and produced over decades, we bring a level of capability that extends well beyond one-off fabrication. Our team is authorized to custom build engines to suit specific applications, giving customers a repower solution that maintains reliability and long-term serviceability.
This is also why many mechanics and equipment shops rely on Repower Specialists when they need a custom repower solution they can trust.
