I've got a 682 roller that I've decided on repowering with a ch18s.

The donor is a rusted out 2185.

Several other members have already done this conversion, and made it easier for others to follow your lead. I already know the wiring is gonna be an issue for me, so i'm going to get motor mounted, then tackle that. I was hoping that someone may have a laymans wiring schematic to help me muddle through the swap. I am going to use this tractor for mowing, so I swapped the pto from the KT17. The 682 S/N2050600u743397. And the 2185's S/N 385633. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Was that the 2185 off of CL in Bham? That was a great deal if you got that one. I'm sure someone will help you out here. Welcome to OCC.

Get with SamMac for an easy upgrade to that engine to take it into the 20+ HP range

Oak, Yea that's the one. The tin is rusted out and had been sitting couple years, but runs good now.

This is on Flea Bay

If you want more power out of that CH

Couldn't you use the wiring harness out of the 2185?

Looks just like the one I got from my buddy in VA.:beerchug:

It's easier to use the 682 wiring with a couple minor mods, ask me how I know.

Yep it is just a different seller.

As far as the drive shaft I would cut the shaft from the 2185 and slip it over the existing shaft for your 682 get the length adjusted to whatever it needs to be then drill a ¼” hole through it and put a spirol pin in it, maybe even two just to be safe. That way you don’t have to go out and buy an adapter to bolt the shaft to the back of the engine. The 2000 series drive couplers are pretty bullet proof and they don’t need any maintenance.
