Hello,
I have a 23HP Kohler Triad engine that I am putting in a 60" Grasshopper 725K. I bought this engine as a replacement for the original 20hp engine that blew up. Upon doing the swap I have noticed a couple things. The triad engine isn't as tall. I am having 1" shims made so that the driveshaft for the blades will line up. The shaft is much smaller in diameter compared to the previous engine. I will have to order the appropriate pto, even though the old engine had a brand new one on it. Third, the exhaust studs are 90 degrees different when compared to the other engine. Where can I find the appropriate exhaust? This is a horizontal engine keep in mind. Thanks for any help that can be sent my way.
