My GT225 (1999) currently has a 15 hp Kohler , wondering if anybody can tell me if the 17 hp
Kohler out of an LT 110 (2005) would match up into my tractor. Or is there somewhere that I can look this up. Thanks for the help. :confuse:

My 15 H.P. Kohler is 12 years old with over 1,000 hrs, it runs good but it seems to be getting tired. Not able to run through the snow drifts like it used to. I have a line a 17 hp Kohler for $100-150/w 175 hrs on it so I thought this might be an inexpensive way to repower.

By the way I really appreciate everyone's willingness to help on this site, glad that I could join.

My l110 after 700 hours (well maintained) started burning so much oil it would not start. I checked the rings, they were so worn, there was 1/4" end gap. Mine was a 2004. Maybe they were better 12 years ago. The dealer told me they are now rated to survive for 250 hours.

To bad they don't build them to last anymore, throw away society

My 15hp Kohler starting smoking and using oil about a year ago, turned out my head gasket was leaking. Replaced the head gasket and has been running good and not using any oil since.

They have cheapened the average tractor in order to sell it at a price point. You can still buy quality machines but the cost is very high.
