what kind of motor can i replace the motor on my power king 2418 with that is better than the kohler k361 that is in it
 
You already have one of the best engines every made. What do you hope to gain by choosing something different?
 
The engine, what is wrong with it that you want to change it out?
When Kohler started to build that engine they were having some quality control issues.
The later engines didn't have the same longevity in them as the older cast iron ones.
You could get in contact with Small Engines Warehouse in Dunkirk, Indiana. They offer several replacement engines for garden tractors.
 
it's a good strong engine, just keep the cooling fins extra clean, they were prone to overheating if the fins get full of oil, trash or dirt
 
There can't be anything wrong with that engine that $500 can't fix. You can't repower with new for that. You will also be sorely dissappointed in the torque of new engines versus what you have. You would probably have to go 25hp with a modern engine to equal what you have.
 
Hi big farmer, most guys that replace the K361 go to the K321 it is probably the easiest engine to swap in, what problems are you having with the k361? I know finding some parts for the K361 can be hard but there are parts and repairs available, but not inexpensive.

the tractor is in great shape the head is bad this is the second head that i put on it keeps burning the exhust vale and seat out cant find an other head so far thanks
 
Hi, that's what I was thinking was happening, as I posted many change to the K321 14HP Kohler, that's the engine I would go to if the K361 in my PK goes bad beyond economical repair. Have you checked this site, they maybe able to help you, I have read in a number of post he can be hard to get ahold of and that you should keep trying, Good luck with what ever way you go.
