In my book your cost difference is for the Kohler,even though smaller.They are a better rated and more costly engine than the Briggs.Sounds like both are pretty well matched,and either should handle a 42 deck w/o problems.Both are MTD products and may well share components.The deck washer is a handy thing,allowing you a safe point to inject water under the running deck.Basically its a female hose end installed in a hole in the deck,some have a directional nozzle hole(s) just beneath the deck to direct the flushing water.Twer' me,I'd prolly go with the Cub/Kohler,unless the dealer wanted to sweeten the pot on the Troy,like free extended warranty or reducing the final price,eating the tax or such.A free spare belt/blades is nice too :)
