Yep, always cleaned after each use and always stored in my climate controlled shop. Kohler's Courage was just a poorly designed engine. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the reply and input! I took it to a small engine repair shop this week and diagnosis is the same as dealer. He showed me all the damaged parts. The small engine shop said the Kohler's Courage VTwin engines were junk, had countless issues and a bad reputation. He said Kohler replaced...

Thanks for the reply! I took it to a small engine repair shop this week and diagnosis is the same as dealer. The small engine shop said the Kohler's Courage motors were junk and had countless issues and Kohler replaced it with the 7000 series... a better engine.

Thank you!

Unless I missed something the part diagram you provided a link to doesn't show the diameter and length of the crankshaft... maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot??

Anyone know where I can find the crankshaft dia. and length for a Kohler sv730-3044? I've googled it but not finding specific specs for this model. Engine is currently in my 2012 Cub Cadet LGTX 1050 and didn't want to pull the engine just to determine crankshaft specs. Thanks in advance!

I'm very meticulous about oil changes and maintaining the mower so not sure exactly what happened. Took it to my local...

Thanks for the info!

I own a 2012 Cub Cadet riding mower that has a bad Kohler Courage 25 725cc twin cylinder engine in it. Not happy that the Kohler engine failed with light use at 154 hours on the meter. It needs both heads and both pistons replaced so instead of rebuilding it I thought I'd see what else I could...
