It's been coming for a long time... and today at 760 hrs. engine called it retirement.
It still barely runs enough to move it a few feet....rods are knocking bad, no oil pressure, and sounds like one head gasket blew on starter side
.... need opinions....tractor is in very good condition...had the typical O-rings replaced by dealer in the top of tranny last summer...
mower deck has new belt and idler pulley and a new spindle bearing , and seal... BUT
is it worth it to put a new Kohler crate engine in ?
Anyone been in this situation ?
Oh..one more thing....anyone know the shaft on the CH 20 engine....
is it 3" by 1/18 ?
I called Kohler, and they said the engine in the 3204 series was obsolete in 2011, so they won't sell me one.
But there must be a Command engine that will fit.
All comments appreciated.
