Hello everyone,I am new here and found this place from hours of searching the net for some help. I have a coworker that has a Toro timecutter zero turn mower with a 21hp Kohler engine on it.He bought it new in 2008 and used it a couple years when it started vibrating and knocking. Long story short it has two cracks in the block and one bolt busted off.It has been sitting in his garage for a couple years and I am thinking about buying it.From what I have been reading this is a very common problem with the Kohler courage. If I can get this cheap enough is it worth getting a new Kohler or should I convert to a different brand? Motor spec is sv610-0200..He has e-mailed Kohler twice with no response.Is was just out of warranty when this happened. I cant find a used engine anyplace around here. What Kohler engine would I need,Dont look like they make this one anymore?

Thats what I was wondering. He priced it at $600, I talked him down to $500 so far.Was thinking about offering $300. New engine is about $900.

The Briggs engine that you would use is 331877-0036. Bolts right on. Only additional part needed is a muffler.
Thanks for the info. I am kinda green when it comes to small engines,But it says 9 amp alt and I believe the Kohler that is on it now is 15 amp?will this be ok? Also will the throttle linkage and stuff hook right up?

The linkage would be easy i believe even if it not long enough buying a longer cable wouldnt coast much
