The CH18 is in the 2084 and running nicely. Pretty much a direct bolt-in procedure. When I picked up the donor CH18 the seller also gave me the PTO, muffler and drive shaft along with the engine which he said has 466 hrs. on it. Just had to invert the PTO so it would clear the lower muffler shield and run a ground wire for the PTO as well as to make a male to male spade connector for the power side of the PTO. I put new crankshaft seals in it and cleaned the starter drive.
I wont know till spring how it handles the 60" deck under load but running it with no load the deck sounded more "powerful", for lack of a better description, than with the tired CH20 that was in it that had 1050 hrs. on it.
I will probably rebuild the CH20 this year when I get time.
Thanks for all the help.
