They were basically a slight upgrade in a good 2nd design before the production of the opposed flathead twin ended.
Still my favorite opposed twin.

That's good information and opinion, thanks! So, because of the two cylinders, the Series 1 must have been more fragile as opposed to the single cylinder Iron Line Kohler's ?
Tractor Data lists the Kohler 17 twin at 691 cc, and where as the Kohler Mag 18 is also listed as a 691 cc engine.
