JDSeller, I change oil and all filters often. Only operate it at about 1/2 rpm. The diy place in town says they get between 1500 and 3000 hrs before replacing engine. If you check, kohler ch20-64519 engine it's listed specifically for my terramite. The diy boys tell me it's a bear to replace the engine with a honda. They claim the kohler is quieter too. They say it's better to buy a short block than a new engine. I've seen my engine go from between $1600 and $1800. I think I will go for a new engine. I've also seen some Kohlers with EFI. Not sure if I could use one. I've seen some used terramites with a honda replacement engine. Not sure if terramite sells new T5C's with honda or kaw. I like the 17 hp kaw in my JD275 and the efi kaw in 4010 mule.
I did order a case of stens filters off ebay for $50 that you recommended for kaw. Changed oil on mower, removed the same stens filter. I noticed the kohler filter appears tp be slightly bigger OD, but the measurements from the hole to the o-ring gasket is the same as the OEM kaw filter. Plan to use the same stens filters for all my briggs and kohler motors.
I may have a line on a 25 year old 20 hp kohler carb, hoping it is adjustable. My ethanol blend is making things a little hotter, small amounts of white flakies on plug and carbon on piston is going away. So I'm using 89 octane in hopes of not getting things too hot with detionation. So far, engine has stopped dieseling, hasn't damaged fuel pump, carb or pistons. thanks, george

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
