I am having a rough time with kohler twins. When I bought the 1810 the engine was shaking pretty good when I looked at it. I assumed it was because it was missing two engine mount bolts and the other two were loose. So I pulled the magnum out last weekend and started cleaning it up tonight, and while fiddling with it I was turning it over by hand and heard some weird noises. The oil looked good and I did not hear anything bad while it was running other than rattling sheet metal. Well I pulled the plugs and turned it over and what do you know no air pushing out of one cylinder. Its got a broken rod and still runs on the good cylinder. I got really mad and thought about selling the whole lot of cubs. Now I have three out of commission tractors, the yard needs mowed, fall garden work is coming and snow is just around the corner, and to top it all off I used the rest of my cash to buy this nice looking P.O.S. 1810. I don't know what to do now. Thanks for listening to me vent.
