Engine swap for a '62 Lawn Ranger 32?

Recommended Posts

My '62 Lawn Ranger 32 came with a Tecumseh HT55E.  Haven't gotten into it yet but the sounds its making from hand turning are making me research alternatives.  The Kohlers seem to get high marks - does anyone know if a K181 fit without having to cut anything?  And are there other suggestions?   Thanks in advance

Don't know about the details of the engine swap, but a 1962 Lawn Ranger with the original engine is worth more than one that has a replacement.  The 62 Lawn Ranger is certainly a less common tractor to begin with.  Just something to keep in mind.

Thanks - I'll know more when I get it apart, but preparing for the worst.  Looks like parts and info are very scarce on the HT55, but the Kohlers are very well supported.

Some parts from an H or HH-60 will work.  If you do decide to repower with something else, put the engine in the classifieds section.....someone will definitely want it.

That's good to know.  Even if I don't use it I'll probably keep it with it so it can be made original down the road.
