How do you ID a Kohler with no stickers. I can see where the stickers were.

This is on a Husqvarna 915178.

Sometimes a picture of the engine, a couple pictures maybe, can narrow it down quite a bit. Single, twin, OHV, carb setup, etc. to start with.

If you know the Husqvarna mower number then you can use that to obtain or at least view the parts diagrams and the engine is usually listed.
Then you can pull a part from that particular engine and hot the "more / details " button.
On the bottom of th window is generally a list of where else that part was used and if you picked a head for instance there will be a section of engines.

Here's some pic. Also a pic of what looks like a flywheel key. Two pieces, very thin. And it's magnetised. So I'm not sure yet. Just got this in yesterday and haven't checked to see if the key is there. Flywheel keys aren't magnetized, are they?

Pay no mind to the Gravely pic.

And the engine is a 24Hp Courage.

Thanks for the replies. The problem with this one is when you tighten the PTO to the crank, the crank won't turn over. Loosen the bolt just a little, and it turns over fine. The center of the PTO turns freely. And with just a little effort, I can spin the pulley. But put tighten it all up, and nothing moves.
The washer for the PTO to crank bolt fits the spinning part of the bearing assembly, no over lap.

A bit trick this one.
Remove the clutch retainer if you can, unplug the clutch and see if you can turn the engine over by hand
If the whole shooting, match turns freely but wont turn when the clutch is restrained then the clutch is cactus

If the engine will not turn at all then you are missing a spacer at the top of the upper pulley and it is fouling on the crank case
