Good Day All! This summer I bought a 1993 Grasshopper Model 720K serial # 333733 with mower deck 9061. Very nice Mower! But the Kohler engine smokes pretty good. I used it till now and thought I would just rebuild it and be ready for next summer. I have it tore down, cylinder walls are glazed super bad. I mean like glass! And the valve seals are shot. So I know the problems, but I can't find anywhere on the engine as to what HP it is or any model # so I can get parts ordered. You can see on the flywheel cover where a sticker was. I have found some pictures so I know it is probably a CH model of some type. 18 or 20 HP. So that's my problem! How do I find out what this is, so I can get the right parts? THANKS in advance for your Help!!

Being that old I would think it would be a Magnum. Is it a flat head or over head valves?

It's an Overhead Valve engine. With Hyd lifters, no adjustment to them.

Its a Kohler Command

Then go to http://www.kohlerplus.com/login.asp and enter as a guest. Use the CH20 number and the spec number from top link to get your parts list.

Oh My!! I spent nearly 2 hours last night looking for that info and never found that page! THANKS!! Going from that, it looks like an easy job to get the parts I need. Using that info, it looks like the engine was built by MORIDGE MFG. for Kohler, so not built by Kohler. I Really like this mower!! It is back to being in near like new shape. And when the engine is rebuilt, it will last me for many Happy years!! Thanks again!! Steve
