Once you know what engines you can use, you can search the net for availability or hopefully find a bargain price.RhinoAg is pleased to announce effective Monday, September 26, Lisa Tubbs will join Alamo Group Inc. There are probably 25 CV730 engines, 10 CV740 (27HP) engines and several CV745 (28HP) engines that would bolt right in, you use your old exhaust, wiring connectors etc. When you look up the crank, you can go to the top right of the screen and click on the part number then another screen opens up and you can click on "where else used" and look for other CV series engines with a 1 1/8"x 3 5/16" crank.any of those engines would work. Partsplus shows it has a 1 1/8" crank that is 3 5/16" long. For instance,OPE listed a CV730-014 as a 25 hp Dixie Chopper ZTR replacement engine and I assume this is your motor (BIG bucks!!). From there, you can decide what engines/spec numbers will be compatible. You can then start going through the site and looking at other engines with same/similar specs. Kohler uses a very standardized wiring system too, so if your engine has "special" wire plugs/connectors ( like my F680 did) it is easy to simply trace them on your old engine, cut that connector off and splice it onto the new motor. ![]() You can then be assured that the physical size, bolt up and pulley/or drive alignment is the same. Usually, the main thing when looking for a replacement engine w/ different spec number is to check the website and make sure it has the same crank diameter and length. ![]() When you go to Kohlers website, you can look at engine diagrams w/ measurements and you can look at the spec numbers of every series. Two commercial seasons later, itis still running BETTER than new! Many of the engines in a Kohler series use the same block and major components. ![]() Ended up finding a new 23 HP CH670 for about $600 from OPE engines ( the 20 HP "Deere spec" engine was around $2000). My Deere had a CH20 that shot craps and I started watching Ebay auctions. The great thing about Kohlers is that they have a lot of crossover and it's easy to figure out what other engines they produce will work in other applications. ![]() I believe bigger is almost always better but sometimes price wins over size.
