18 hp Kohler Command
My kohler command loses power and misfires once it's warmed up. Any one else have this happen? Tia for any ideas on things to look at.

If the ignition check shows OK, how about a valve sticking once the engine is warm? Might be helpful to know how long it has to run and if it is a solid or intermittent miss.

Thanks for the input. I was going to start with the carb but since it's been mentioned I go at the ignition first.

Can I access the coils without removing the engine?

It is far easier to just pull the engine and remove the shrouds. It gives you a good opportunity for a full examination of that area, to clean the Fan and Shrouds, and make any repairs as necessary.

The tractor is a 2185 built in 94. It probably does need a real good cleaning.

Yup, pull it and remove the shrouds and look around. Save your knuckles. It's not terribly hard on the 2185 to get the engine off, but you might have trouble getting the exhaust apart to release the engine. I had two that I tore apart, both were rusted. The pipe was rusted and wouldn't come off the muffler inlet, and the bolts were rusted where the muffler is attached and the bolts broke off. New mufflers are pretty expensive for that. If that comes apart easily, the rest is a piece of cake.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
