The 20hp Kohler in the 2084 is running extremely hot to the point that it began to melt the plastic grill panel and found the left cylinder so much hotter. Found debris in the oil also.
The 2182 I bought has the earlier style rock shaft that been broken and welded along with a broken cam stop cone for the deck height adjustment. My chassis and frame is near mint on my 2084 and also has the updated rock shaft design with the outer removable bushings . My intention to repower the 2084 with another Kohler was looking to be expensive so I thought to start looking for another machine, when I found this 2182 , it runs very well and has the 60” 374 deck also. But that frame needs work and needs some sand blasting as well. This is what gave me the idea to switch the engine over to my 2084.
