Pros & Cons
Pros
Only a minor irritation but wanted to highlight. In my case, the old 2004 engine was rated 18.
Runs like a champ. Ordered on monday, on my porch on wed. Review update, after using engine runs very well.
Throttle hookup is for a mower that has the throttle lever that chokes engine when pushed all the way forward. Choke is full on auto when throttle pushed a little past full open.

Unplug the light harness and reverse the wiring at the headlights and feed the headlight wire to the left side of the engine
Styrofoam base crumbled as the engine shook in transit
Price
Am very satisfied with the purchase especially when a new tractor was around 3000 and a dealer wanted almost 2000 to swap motors
Its purring like a kitten at about a third of what a new mower would have cost
Kohler 18hp courage on 2006 snapper 350z blew head gasket and local dealer wanted 2k for new engine install or 3
Much cheaper than spending 2300 on a new mower
Shipping
Shipping was insane i got it the next day swap out went super smooth on my 2011 lt2000 tractor
This motor arrived ready to install with everything
From the moment the box arrived until i started the motor for the first time

Packaging and lack of documentation drove 4 stars
