Great video. Gave me the confidence to swap out my own engine. Only got 7 yrs out this kholer, SMH. That spindle bolt, wow what a sob to get off. I had to go out and buy a breaker bar. That bolt was that hardest part of the job for anyone else looking to do this. The rest was pretty plug and play.
great video, all the plastic over head and filter plastic from my kohler engine end up in the trash, if you happen to have these platic parts hanging around with no use, i could really use them , appericate your time, thank you
I’m able to pick one of these up for $100 with a bad motor. Thanks for the video. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it to do an engine swap. I don’t really want to spend much money on it if I buy it.
I have a cub cadet exactly like it but this one had a kohler pro 7000 series on it and low and behold the people i got it from ran it without oil and the piston basically weleded itself to the cylinder. And as bad as i hate to do it im replacing it with a kohler courage 20hp that i had laying around. Kohlers like the kohler pro and kohler command are damn good engines but the kohler courage were basically trash more of a temporary engine in my experience lol and of course im putting one on this mower. 😮
Hate to see a Kohler fail. Have an Ariens tractor from 1977 with the original Kohler 16HP in it. Runs great. Just bought this same lawn tractor for 150 with a hole in the block, new briggs incoming.
Thanks for the video. I like the sound of your ratchet.

an air impact wrench is helpful with the spindle bolt I have since discovered!

About to swap 1 myself. What series Briggs&Stratton did you snag? I'm just want to make sure it's compatible.
Thanks for this!!! Just replaced my Kohler thanks to your videos. I'm trying to find the exhaust tube , can someone point me in right direction?

Agree
What's with these scrub cadet with their signature cuts I don't really think they cut that nice they use the word signature to make it sound good

I have another Kohler on a Toro Zero turn we are getting ready to replace. Same issue burning lots of oil.
Briggs intek is Also junk!
I hope I have better luck than that Kohler I miss the engines that were bullet proff.
