My son and I have a 2072 that has a 18 HP Kohler Command. It works well but is not just a drop in replacement. There are several differences in engines. The wiring is much different and the drive shaft will have to be custom made as the original shaft will be too short. Enginewise there is no difference between the 18 hp, the 20 hp and 22 hp models. The only difference is the carberator size so it is easy to use any of them or change any to a more or less hp but for the life of me I cannot see any reason why anyone would go for less hp.
