I checked the engine and one of the pistons isn't moving.
I checked this website https://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/Repower-Old-Equipment/Grasshopper-1822-Category and there is a engine that says it's a replacement for Grasshopper 1822

356447-WODS5182-R3
18hp OHV V-Twin, Conversion kit to fit into a Woods 5180 5182 Grass Hopper 1820 1822 1825 1850 Briggs & Stratton Engine

But at the bottom of the page where it says

FITS THESE MODELS​

• Woods 5180,5181,5182 & Grass Hopper 1820,1825,1850

The1822 isn't listed. What do you guys thank, will this engine work?

 

[Scrubcadet10]

1822 is listed for it

 

[Colby2566]

Yes it says that but at the end of listing where it says

FITS THESE MODELS​

• Woods 5180,5181,5182 & Grass Hopper 1820,1825,1850

The 1822 isn't. That's my concern. I emailed the company but haven't heard back from them.

The connecting rod is still available although they are 64 usd each.

It could just be human error when writing that page. Emailing them was the best thing to do.

Thanks for all the info, now my decision is do I try and rebuild my engine or buy the Woods engine. I'm leaning more towards buying than rebuilding.

3 part numbers for cylinder - 394687, or 394900 which supersedes to 497075. I have a 497075 in surplus stock I will sell for reasonable price, but suggest you make a list of needed parts and see what is available. Right now the website to check stock on cylinder current price and stock is down. The Cylinder I have is new, returned with a small section of the top fin broken, was replaced to customer on warranty.

Some one with dealer access to the Power Portal might do better but the civilian version recognizes the numbers then comes back with "no information available "
