I have a CC 2166 with the 16hp Kohler. It came without a deck and I finally found a 48" three-blade deck in mint condition. The deck came with an unmounted belt-driven Model 292 fan assist blower to help move clippings up to the bagger.
The 16hp pulls the 3-blade deck OK in low grass without the blower installed, but I'm concerned adding the blower, especially if grass is high, might be a strain on the little Kohler.
It's unknown what horsepower machine from which the deck came, but most with that 48" are at least 22hp.
Thoughts?

Wouldn't think it would have any problems at all. Give it a shot.
