The Kohler Courage engine on my Husqvarna LGT 2554 took a dump about 2 years ago. Just as I was considering dumping the thing because I couldn't find a used engine, an entire LGT 2654 came along. The transmission was bad on this and had been removed but the rest was still good. I got the entire thing, wheels deck and all, for $50. I considered using this as my mower and moving my transmission over but it used the foot pedal type operation. Mine is lever operated which I prefer so swapped the engine and now have this mower running again. I gave the engine and transmission some TLC including fluid/oil changes and a good carb cleaning.
Anyway, I am now left with the hulk of the LGT 2654 sitting in my yard. I know this has a lot of worthwhile parts but what should I keep? Here are some options I thought of.
1. Move the thing somewhere out of sight and keep the entire thing. It is easy to drag around as the front wheels are still on it and it doesn't weight all that much.
2. Keep small parts like deck brackets and such then junk the frame/fenders, etc. I would keep all the wiring as it is the same.
3. Keep small parts as well as the fuel tank. I have had to replace these in the past and this one is form fitted to this unit so figure it would be at least a $100 part.
The front of my LGT 2554 got pretty burned/melted in places when the old Kohler decided to burn oil and runaway like a diesel so plan to swap these parts as well.
Any other suggestions on what to keep and what to dump? I have several loads of scrap to take in and can put this one at the back of the list while I deal with the rest.
