posted awhile about my mower with a kohler courage that had quit running. I found a 17 hp briggs engine and have got it installed and working. had two
problems. one there was a belt pulley stuck on the briggs crankshaft. had to cut it off. wheel puller would not pull it off due to the pulley bending
out of shape. other problem was getting the wiring right. still need to check and see if it is charging the battery. also, the briggs got oil in the
cylinder and was hydrolocked. pulling the plug and spinning the engine fixed that. it runs good and mower is back in businness.
