OK so my 1974 ariens s16 runs great. But ya know, its old. I prep for things to break. I would like to pick up another engine in case mine goes. Wanted a twin cylinder. They are much smoother. What engines will bolt up with little to no modifications? Would like something newer. Maybe a new vanguard? Anyone?
Alternate engines??????

Kohler magnum should fit, I have a Kohler Command v twin. Honda v twin is a very nice engine but the Command and Honda will cost around $1,500 or so new.
The Kohler Command is a very common engine to find used and parts are easy to find.

Keep an eye open for my engine repower.
I've got a 18hp V-twin liquid cooled diesel that will be replacing the KT17.

My tractor is a 9310019, that has the KT17 in it. It is widened for the opposed engine. When I pick this up in a couple of weeks, I'll know more as I have been using measurements from the manual for the fitment. Another problem I came across with this engine is the metric crank. It is 36mm and not standard for any pto clutch. Worked out a solution for that as well but I don't want to give out to many spoilers for the swap.
I'll start a new thread and leave you with another teaser picture.

SEW is small engine warehouse, they do a lot of repowers for all brands of garden tractor. they probably have complete kits for you tractor on the shelf
WFM, is weekend freedom machines, a technically oriented JD garden tractor forum.
another option for repower kits is Jim's tractor repair, he does all vanguard engines
