    recall notices

    How can I find out if Kohler has recalled any 22hp engines ? I had one lock up after only 140 hours of well maintained service

    Bad engines ? Three years ago I had a Cub Cadet rider with a Kohler engine that cracked right down the back and lost all of the oil.

    Hello to all the great people on this site. My question is, my 1045 has 100.5 hours on it and the oil warning light is blinking.

    Intek 17 HP oil burner

    I just got this Scotts rider and the engine really smokes when it finally does start. Are these OHV engines known for bad valve guides and is it worth doing anything with.? The machine is a 42" cut and is super clean otherwise. Thanks .
