Not quite forever...mine crapped out after 7 years. Kohler wanted something like $1600 for a new one. I bought a Tecumseh for $600+. More HP too... That is very unusual for a cast iron Kohler to fail if you changed the oil and kept the oil topped up. I had a cast iron Kohler on a tractor that I used in fields to chop brush and an occasional rock. I mowed 2 acres of grass for 20 years with it. I mowed an embankment where I had to get off the tractor and walk on the flat so that I could hold the tractor on the embankment so it wouldn't fall over. I plowed snow with it. I even plowed the road in front of our house and the neighbors houses with it. It was still going strong when I sold it. It had replaced a Tecumseh that didn't even finish the second season before it got a warped head and was junk. There are good cast iron Tecumseh's but mine wasn't cast iron. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman |
