For sale - One Kohler CH740 engine removed from a running Cub Cadet 1862. Good working condition. Engine is not original to this Cub Cadet and total hours are unknown. Engine started easily and had good power under load. Engine did not make unusual noise or smoke under load. Engine will puff smoke on startup - smoke clears up quickly. Spark plugs do not show evidence of oil consumption. Engine oil has been drained for shipping - oil was clean and free of debris. Crankshaft measures 1.125" in diameter and approximately 2.65" in length. Engine has 180 PSI compression on LH cylinder and 180 PSI compression on RH cylinder. PTO shaft keyway and threads are good.
Engine runs smooth at idle and also at full throttle under a load. Engine surges at full thottle without a load. Carburetor has a small fuel leak from top cover gasket. Front rotating screen has been removed and is not included as pictured. A small section of aluminum has been removed from one of the engine block mounting points - please see pictures - it is unclear why this was removed as it was not necessary to make the engine fit this Cub 1862. Doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it sells that way.
