Can some Argo guru please tell me are the Kohler 17hp and the 18hp the same engine? Would it be worth buying an 18 as spares for a 17?
Cheers Guys.

You cant tell them apart from the exterior except the color; green=17hp // red=18hp. There may be some difference in the PTO come to think about it? More hp is always a good upgrade... RR -
If you're going to upgrade, might as well go for more ponies than just one.Originally posted by rapidroy View PostComment

??? Mine's a red 17hp ?? The 18 is on ebay so thought it may be useful for spares some day if the parts will fit a 17hp.Originally posted by rapidroy View Post
What's the difference internally, anyone know ? For an extra 1hp it could be just carb and cam grind so thought perhaps all the main ingredients could possibly be the same.Comment

The 17 hp has points & condensor ingition. The 18 is a CDI style ignition (I think). Worked on both but I wasn't working on the 18 hp ignition so I can't remember for sure. I know the 17 hp was a points & condensor as that's what we were troubleshooting.Originally posted by rodp View PostComment
