It's getting to the end of the Hibernation season here in N.E. Ohio (at least for me, anyhow). I'm entertaining thoughts about possibly refreshing and reusing this engine. I think it's original equipment for the Hustler 880. I see they came with a Kohler 309CC but that was a single cyl. Just starting to get my ducks in a row and feeling around for some info. Anybody recognize this engine?
Thanks! Joe.
Is'nt that a 399 kohler???
I keep looking at this thinking CCW 340, I see the engine has a tag, last letter should give you a clue. there is probably another tag elsewhere on the engine also as that is the Hustler model and serial numbers.
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.

defiantly a CCW

Thanks men. Jim, I think your correct. I believe it is a CCW. Not a big issue now, just figured someone may have remembered what engines came in the 880's. I searched without success and the unit in the pic is at Mom's place now. I was just trying to get a little more motivated to do something once it starts warming up, lol. Figure it's going to need all gaskets and seals replaced, minimum and was curious about availability and $$.
CCW and Kohler in 880's for sure, maybe Hirth?

I love the smell of Blendzall in the morning
tag is next to cooling fan. the cc will be stamped, post the serial number as there is a few variants of the same displacement. I have a set of engine manuals. the big issue with the old engines is the ignition points cams rust and wear out the follower on the points.

Thanks Marc! I may get to it next Tuesday, may even get to pull it. Jim sent me some very helpful info. Still a fuzz confused about some things. The manual shows 4 crank seals, 2 of one type and 2 of another. The kits I'm finding online appear to contain only 3 sealsAlso was wondering if you (or anyone else) knows the #'s for the Crank Bearings. I'm thinking we can source these locally if needed?
Just answered one of my questions. Was wondering what we do when we find out that the bearings and seals on the crankshaft, in between the rod journals,are shot.
" 4.8 CRANKSHAFT (See Figure 4-7) NOTE: If inspection reveals maintenance requirements beyond the outer ball bearing or outer oil seal removal and installation, install a new crankshaft. "
Gotta hunch I'll be looking for a small 2 cyl 2 cycle engine soon!! lol!!!
