My Kohler went kaput last weekend and looking to replace the engine. I have looked at Smallenginewarehouse.com & they no longer have a Honda kit for it, they told me the Hondas run hot & Honda doesn't make stuff for this kit any longer, and all they have is the Vangaurd series from Briggs & Stratton. I have thought about finding a Kohler Command & make it work, and have thought about the B&S kit to replace. Opinions....?
Also while I'm at it, why not give it a little more HP, SEW has B&G kits for other Cub Cadets in 23 hp versions, will they work in the 682? These for example says it is for a Cub Cadet 1811, 1812, 1860, 1861, 1862, 1872, 1882:

Are they the same as the 682 only more power? Looks like the shaft is different though.
I have been reading posts here about engine swaps, just looking for some more opinions.
Thanks
Scot
