My Craftsman 203881, 42", hydrostatic, has the Platinum 19 hp, prior model with same 540 cc displacement was labelled a 22 hp. Sears claims there is no difference in these engines except that the 19 hp was an improvement after the 22 hp in that its longevity is greater.
I have read very good things on this engine, certainly better than the Gold or Silver Intek. However, there have been some harsh criticisms and people with crankshafts getting bent, and other issues.
I'm also curious about the V-Twin Platinums, as there seem to be more problems with those engines for some reason.
