Great engines that sip fuel, keep in mind it will weigh around 200# more than your old Kohler. Steve
I have a friend who is really into John Deere riding mowers and he says he has a Yanmar 3 cylinder water cooled 18 HP engine on one of his Deeres that he will give me. What do you guys think of Yanmars?Bob
I have no knowledge of modern aluminum diesel engines, certainly there have been improvements, new alloys, etc., but I can tell you this: heat and aluminum historically do not play well together in the world of internal combustion . I hope they solved that problem well enough to stand the rigors of diesel. My mother had a 1962 Oldsmobile F 85 with an aluminum engine which was a hunk of junk. Left us on the side of the road waiting for emergency service several times before we finally ditched it. The service manager at the dealership admitted that they had replaced more than one warped block and/or head.
