It's me again! Lol.
So a couple months ago I bought a 2012 YTH21K46 with a grenaded 21hp Kohler Courage. I put it aside until I could find new motor.
Yesterday, I found a 22hp Briggs Intek Vtwin removed from a John Deere and it got me wondering if it would fit. So I remembered I had a blown one I removed for a swap in my L120, lo and behold it lined right up, same connectors, and even the drive pulley slid right on.
So today, and drove to Maine and bought the motor. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear it run but only cost me $100 with exhaust and my time.
Tonight I got it all installed. Everything went without a hitch. Only thing I had to do was reroute fuel line to other side (right next to starter cable, is that a problem?) and drill a hole in muffler to mount. Also had to use bolt for drive pulley since the pulley was shorter than the jd one.
Tomorrow I will attempt to start it. Too late tonight.
Anyway, only problem I see, for now, is the throttle cable is obviously toooooo short. The Kohler Courage had the side mount throttle control like the Briggs single cylinders and this one mounts on the front.
Any suggestions? Oh! And what should I do with the gas tank vent hose? I dont remember where it went.
