Rob Brown 8 #1 Posted August 16, 2020 So I just got started with wheel horse tractors. I just bought my 3rd one yesterday. I bought an 18 automatic. Can someone help me with info on them please. I thought the 18 represented that it had a 18 house Kohler on it but the guy I bought it from said it's a 24 horse Kohler on it. My question is what motor are these supposed to have on them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,714 #4 Posted August 16, 2020 Welcome: 18 Auto came with a K482 Cast Iron Twin I believe the biggest cast iron twin Kohler made was the K 582 23hp. What is the Spec number on the engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
