I have a Dixie Chopper LT2000 with a Kohler Command CV 20 that has 850hrs. Cutting the grass today it suddenly stops no weird sounds just stops. I noticed a weird smell kind of like hot coolant but this motor is air cooled. There is a 20 amp fuse on the ignition wire that was blown. I replced it but the starter can't turn the flywheel. Its locked up!. Oil changed about 20 hours ago and was at proper levels.
I pulled plugs and starter to pin point the issue. Starter is fine. Can't turn flywheel by hand at all.
I drained the oil and no metal or anythng of the like in the oil. Oil looked good. I pulled the OHV covers and the push rods and lifters look fine.
Are these things (Kohlers) worth rebuilding or should I be looking at a new motor or try to fit another motor on my DC?
