    I did find that small engine warehouse has ch742 kohler for 2499.00. 27hp. 500 bucks difference but I do like the command engines. Plus the 15amp alternator is a turn on for me. But that 33hp would be nice for 500 bucks less, but on the other hand I doubt I'd even notice 5 hp, plus kohler command is a well trusted name. And the 1.125 shaft would save a nice chunk of change on buying another 1190 clutch.

    That's what I was thinking too. Vanguard and command come in between 1 and 2 thousand more on their 35hp models. With that much power stock id imagine it should last a good while, as long as I dont try turning it up or modifying it beyond playing with the jets. The big clutch will be expensive but again should last better. At least I would hope it does.

    Time will tell, it has mostly good reviews.

    Andyman, here's a link to it, it's 319 on the max tool site but still 269.99 on eBay, one year warranty but eBay offers a 3 or 4 year for 50 bucks more, the price is black now instead of red so maybe it's not just on sale? It shipped from southern California and made it to Pennsylvania in 4 or 5 days.

    This thing seems pretty nice was just delivered this morning, some assembly but it's just hooking up the key switch, not a big deal for me since I'm going to be using the dash switch. I hope it runs as good as it looks. I'm really surprised FedEx didn't have it all bitched up with the little packing that was in the box, the box looked like it's been through war but contents is nice and shiny and surprisingly dent free. My wife isn't real thrilled I have it sitting in our living room, but I can't let it sit outside until I get to the point of installing it. She will get over it lol.
