Purchased this tractor and snow thrower with no engine. PO said he loaned it to a neighbor and they didn't check the oil. Ventilated the block. Could not locate Kohler replacement that did not need rebuild so put a late model Briggs Vanguard 16 hp twin in it. Had a welding shop fab the drive shaft to engine coupler. Used it two snow seasons but only a few times. Had a 50" deck on it while another mower was down. No issues what so ever. Runs smooth and quiet. Only modification to the hood was a half circle cut out for the exhaust extension. No changes to the frame.
