I mowed with the 1864 the other day and that's a sweet little tractor! I love it! I noticed the engine was a little warm when I was done. Not overly hot but the heat coming off the engine definitely fealt hotter than it should especially since it was a cool day. One thing I didn't do was remove the engine and clean it so Id like to do that before it becomes a problem. Im fairly certain this is the issue that blew the head gaskets on the 2165.

My question is, how involved is removing the engine for a clean up? Looks to me like I need to remove the throttle and choke cables, fuel line, wires to starter, drive shaft ad engine mounting plate bolts. Am I missing anything? Just looking it over, it looks pretty simple but Ive never had the engine out of a tractor and I need everything to go smooth as the grass is getting tall again as we speak!
