In this video, I'll show you why the case or block cracks on a Kohler Courage motor and how to replace a blown or cracked Kohler Courage Motor on a Toro Zero Turn Mower. Replacing it is pretty simple if you can source a good motor.
This process is the same on a riding lawnmower. The replacement engine came from a standard residential riding lawnmower.
