Morecowbell 23 #1 Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) 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 Clay Edited May 2, 2017 by Morecowbell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evanloock 236 #2 Posted May 2, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morecowbell 23 #3 Posted May 2, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evanloock 236 #4 Posted May 3, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morecowbell 23 #5 Posted May 3, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
