nylyon-(Admin) 7,882 #2 Posted September 14, 2009 There are a couple of things to check to see if that engine will fit. First, if you plan to use a PTO the output shaft will need to match your current engine so you can use the same parts. Second, check the bolt pattern on the oil pan to see if it will bolt right up or if you'll need to make an adapter plate. And finally measure the engine to insure it will fit in the engine cavity. If the 18 HP Kohler is out of a Wheel Horse, then there is a very good chance that it will fit just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
