I have access to a 18hp kohler from a 2185.
Would this be a direct bolt in to replace a 20hp in the 2084?
Here are the specs for the 18hp replacement engine:
Model- CH18S
Spec- 62509
Disp- 624
Serial- 2633908137

I thought I read I will need the drive shaft out of the donor 2185, is that correct?

I was looking through my service manual and the crankshaft hubs where the front PTO mounts looks to be different diameter between the two engines, if so I can't use my PTO on the replacement engine, which comes without a PTO.
Can anybody verify the crank differences?


Thanks.
