As long as the crank shaft diamater and length are the same you can mount a larger hp engine on it.

So what engine would you consider better?

Nice looking mower clean for it's age. Hope it gives you a lot of good service.

I have a special crimping tool to put the cable end on. It is made where you put the end in kinda of a cradle and you smack the crimper with a hammer. really tight crimp.

Welcome to the forum from Tn.

Don't see any single Hondas on riding mowers they make a really good GX series horizontal engine GC engines are so so..

Have you thought about a new mower you might buy a new one for a little more.

Two things come to mind. Air bleed that is stopped up or a porosity in the body of the carb allowing it to draw more un metered fuel in to the cylinder.

What kind of superior after market gasket is better then the OEM gasket? I personally have never had an OEM gasket fail.

Yes it was a problem they also has a cam issue the compression release stop on the cam would wear off over time and make the compression rease not work. It would kick back and make an awful noise. once they fixed all that they had a counter balance problem. I have seen them break, knock the...

They listed a different serial number as well. Go to parts tree and on the starts page click on see all brands click on CC and utility vehicles and scroll down until you find the model and serial no you want. It is toward the bottom of the list.

Do not try to jump start it or charge the battery without disconnecting the battery. It can cause a voltage spike and blow the ECU. Over $800.

Kohler command twin with 2 cam housings? Never saw a Command twin with 2 cams. Only twin cam Kohler was the single Courage. It had an issue with cracking the block where the cylinder met the block because the top plate bolts worked loose. You might have had a twin Cam single cylinder Courage. I...

Been there done that.

The JD Scotts mower was probably built by Murray.

Do any of you guys have a minimum amount you charge for repairs? Local JD dealer charges $100.00. Co-op $80.00. Trying to decide what to charge.

We do a PDI pre delivery inspections on all the mowers we sell and set the Top no load speed on all out mowers.

Boss was approached by Sears to do their warranty work. He was all hiped up do it I took a look at what they paid for warranty work and told him I would not work for that. We don't do Sear warranty work. They were going to pay about 1/3 of the time it would actually take or even less.

Kohler warranty pays 1.8 Hours for both gaskets. Don't just replace the gaskets plane the heads as well. This is on verticle engines. Just did one that had to take the engine mounting bolts out and lift the engine up to get the muffler off. Clean up and all that 6 to 8 hours

Take your pick there only two manufactures making lawn tractors now. Husqvarna and MTD now Black and Decker Stanley. They own MTD, Cub Cadet, and Excel that makes Hustler and use to make Big Dog until they bought them out. Base models Run over 2K.

Kohler Command is the best single engine on the market. Too bad they quit making them. They just don't tear up. Biggest problem is carb issues and most of that is due to sitting with fuel in them too long gumming up the carb.

How long does it take you guys to do head gaskets on a Kohler command twin engine. I do both sides when I do one.

I don't see blown head gaskets on the Kawasakis or Kohler singles. Kawasaki has a valve train problem. Only see it on the older Kohler twins now.

Both of the failures are due to a poorly designed engine. Nothing to support the end of the compression relief and too much space between the spacing of the head bolts in the valve train area. Though I see more cam failures than head gaskets. Still a bad design. Can't say too much for the Kohler...

Looks like it has a compression release due to parts break down. Take the valve cover off spark plug out and turn the engine over by hand. Watch the valves and see if the bottom valve bumps open just before TDC. If not it has a bad compression release.

Worse problem generators have is gunked up carb from setting with old fuel in them. People buy one put fuel in it run it one time let it set until they need it again. Two or three years later they expect it just to start right up and run. LOL

You said old old Kawasaki engine if it is an FH series engine check the top main bearing to see if it is worn out. Turn the magnet on the flywheel away form the ignition coils and see if you can move the flywheel back and forth. Those old FH series engines had a tendency to wear the top main...

What did it cost new? Looks like a 2018?

What is your problem?

Those engines have a compression release on the cam gear. when you adjust the valves turn the engine over by hand and watch the vaves to see if the exhaust valve bumps open just before it hits tdc. If not the compression release is bad,

Coke does not produce smoke on burning: Coke burns with an almost smokeless flame and does not produce smoke during burning. So, there is lesser air pollution when coke is burnt as compared to when coal is burnt. That is why noonshiners use it to fire their stills.

Like I said Dixie Chopper uses the Parker Torques Pack in their mowers and some of the other manufactures are as well. We have only had two units since 2017 that were defective and were covered under warranty.

A lot of the commercial mowers are going to Parker Torques pack one peice unit with oil drains in the pan and a cartrage type filter. It is a very good unit. Dixie Chopper uses them in their commercial Eagle and Black Hawk series and uses Hydro Gear in the Z2 units. They use the two piece units...

I know it was just saying it to controversial. Kohler uses them as well but have seen torch in them as well.

I use to be on a forum years ago and posted for my use I would not screw a Champion plug in a bucket of dirt.

Had a 1965 Chevy wagon that would not run long on Champions put Autolites in it no problems.

Use the CS6 NGK best going

They would not want this stuff since it has water and gas along with the oil

No internal parts available only external. POJ

Post model type and code no. so someone can look it up.

What do you guys do with your used oil? We have ours picked up by Safety Kleen. They use to pay for it but now charge to pick it up. Was talking to the guy that picked it up and he said a lot of the major oil companies bought from them and reprossed it. Like Mobile One, Valvoline to name a few...

Kohler regulators have a surge protector in them and some times all you have to do is uplug them and plug them back in.

CV20 off that Craftsman now sits on my 2000 X1901 Dixie Chopper

Craftsman use to be bad about listing hp of the engine different than the model no. of the mower have a Kohler that is a CV 20 that the mower said it was a 18.5

Not that easy on some of those engines they limit the throttle opening with the lever on the carb throttle shaft. They may also be playing games with hp rating and just call it a different hp than it actually is. They can call it less hp and get by with it but not more hp.

Trash in fuel tank stopping fuel flow from tank to engine or fuel line collapsing when it heats up.

Mix up a solution of red devil lye and water, it will do the same thing if you can still get it since they say it is used to make drugs

Old Wheel Horse, Cub Cadett, or Sears Suburban manual tranny. These older tractors have cast iron gear boxes the newer ones have aluminium and won't hold up.
