I would look on Craig's list for a 2000 series being parted with a CH18 Command and purchase it for the engine. Much less money and usually way less hours. Over 1500 hours and $700 is not that great of deal IMO. The CH18 can be made a CH20 for no money and 10 minutes. It is not uncommon to find a 2000 series with a bad mower deck for around $200
