Can I replace a Kohler with a Briggs

[bigoledude]

My neighbor was hosing off his Toro rider while it was still hot. The block cracked. It is a 21 HP Kohler engine. He will sell me the machine for $50.00. It is in really good shape.

Can I replace that motor with a Briggs engine? Will the bolt pattern match? Wiring harness the same?

Here are the numbers we got off the machine;

Toro model# Timecutter Z5000
frame Model # 74370

motor model--Kohler courage 21
SV610S---spec# SV610-0020

The briggs will bolt right up.
Look at how the wires go to the engine. Write down where every wire goes.
Sit the briggs next to the mower before you pull the other engine so you can make a wire plan.

You might have to splice them together as the plug ins could not be the same.

Wiring will be a nightmare
