New to me 2072
I recently picked up a 2072 with a 450 blower. I was happy to pay the $500 asking price for a “real” garden tractor. I say “real” because my last cub, a 1604 didn’t really do anything well. Now I have high hopes for the 2072 with it because a super and having similar capabilities to my JD 425.
I’m hoping someone can tell me what it is I have. I was told it was repowred and not the original engine. The tag on the engine says Kohler CH18. The motor seems to fit in there well, aside from the muffler exiting right against the front grill. Is this a good engine? Common Repower?
The forward and reverse movement level is extremely sloppy and unpredictable. If I push it all the way forward it starts to move and then then suddenly goes. I’m sure this isn’t right. I changed the fluid and filter but I haven’t driven it since to see if it changed anything.
The way to motor is coupled to the driveshaft isn’t something I like, I’m sure it does it’s job, but I’m also sure there is a better way. I’m guessing there are vendors that sell a “kit” that would space everything properly?
Any advice or information is appreciated.
