[QUOTE="Hawker74, post: 8899, member: 618"] Thanks for all the input guys! I'm not neccessarily against Kohler, I just don't know very much about them except they also make toilets. A guy at the local rental shop asked me what kind of motor was in it. When I told him it was a Kohler he said - " good luck with that, they usually blow up around the 2000hr mark...." Mine calved at the 1783hr mark. Coincidence? probably. This old girl has been monkeyed with quite a bit before by previous owners so maybe a complete rebuild is in order. I heard parts we very hard to get for it also. This is why I thought a swap out might be a better option. I have heard of guys putting the old toyota 22R engines in bobcats with fairly good success but as for the details - I don't know. I'll toss some pics up of the beast and see what everyone thinks. I still haven't had time to troubleshoot the problem yet but the first thing that came to mind when she quit was either a busted connecting rod or a timing chain. I should have more info next week. Thanks again for your replies everyone! Hawk [/QUOTE]
