thank you so much. Glad to hear the video helped you save money! be sure to look through all the comments from others. There are some great additional tips below. Also, be sure to put Loc-Tite on those bolts before you mount the engine.
you're welcome! Be sure to read through comments, and I forgot to mention to add Loctite to the bolts before mounting the motor! Also, if you have a universal joint for your wrenches, you can avoid some of the headache I had with one bolt. Good luck!
@@allflashgordon6731one more thing…would you please let me know where you got your tap kit and stainless bolt? Thanks again. This video is super helpful.
I got the engine at “Brand New Engines” but they don’t stock it anymore. However, I found the same engine here: www.smallenginesuppliers.com/shop/html/pages/products/kohler_vertical_engines1312.html
I had a little mower. I bought a big Kohler 224 so big weeds would die. I have the correct parts for any blade. The Kohler did not have a gas tank? What else does it not have? buy something else.
You put that drive pulley on bass-ackwards. Put it on the engine pulley first, then pull the transmission forward. Roll the belt on by turning the tranny pulley as you go. It can all be done by hand. I did it the way you did it ONE time and was severely frustrated with how hard it was to do.
I haven't ran the cover on the belts for years. It gets clogged with grass and I like being able to keep an eye on the belts at all times. I did maintenance on it one time and the drive belt was almost ready to break. I didn't like the thought of not knowing that.
Help! brand new CV224, cut the grass once, started right up. Go out this week the engine won't start! Has gas and everything. Probably put 1 hour on it last week and it ran beautifully! any ideas?
I haven’t had that happen. Just make sure you have the choke full open when starting. If it doesn’t start in 2-3 pulls, let it rest 25 minutes and try again. Also, check spark plug.
You can remove the black spring that is holding the transmission belt and make it much easier for yourself rather than using the 2x4 block method and wrestling with that transmission/belt combo. Just grab on tight to the black spring with a pair a pliers, pull it out of the holder, and voila! No more transmission blocking/belt to deal with, just put it back together in reverse when ready.
Love it!!! Discussion always leads to better solutions. Closed minded thoughts stunt’s true growth. THANK YOU for the awesome idea! Wrestling with the 2x4 block was a pain!
I replaced my older model toro 30 190cc engine, but I have a problem. The belt that engages the blades is too lose. How can I fix this issues. Should I find a smaller belt? Or did I install int engine in the wrong holes? I used the D shape holes?
the belt could be old and stretched, so you may need a new belt. When you put it on initially, it is very loose, but still in the grooves. when you engage the blade it will tighten up. Have you tried to engage the blade with the mower off as well as with the engine running?
when you remove that one bolt that’s the hardest you know you can access it from the bottom through that hole right? instead of using 90 adapters and all that crap? you can use an extension right from underneath it
Yes, Absolutely. That is the preferred method, but I couldn't reach it with a standard extension without a universal joint. unfortunately my local hardware store didn't have one that worked with my set either. If they did, my life would be much easier!!! THOSE READING... Use a universal joint and a socket extension. Universal joint is needed otherwise the nut will not fit squarely on the socket
I got it here for $599. The engine runs great! starts first pull every time, and never slows down or dies when I engage the blade. Only issue is that I have to get used to working the throttle and choke. www.brandnewengines.com/products/kohler-cv224-3002-command-pro-11-0-tp-224cc-toro-timemaster-25mm-x-3-5-32-w-oil-filter_449310
you are correct. The bolt should remain out though. I used an older clip of me putting the engine on. It was a little after I put the engine on that I noticed that the bolt didn’t fit so I recorded the removal of the bolt and then used the other (older) clip of me setting the engine in. You have good eyes! Thanks for the comment!
I couldn't find a video anywhere on the internet that showed you exactly step by step process to remove and replace the engine, so I decided to do it myself. I hope you enjoy the videos and find them helpful!
