Two and a half years ago I went ahead and purchased a GT1554 with the 27 HP Kohler Command engine, all went well till the end of the first summer (38 hours) when it started smoking and using oil (1 pint @ hour). Dealer said blown head gasket, fixed it and returned it later that month under warranty. Ran fine all last summer and this spring, then started again (at 90 hours). Now out of warrenty and dealer says he has not heard of head gasket problems, but I was wondering have any of you with the Kohler Command engines had head gasket problems? or do I have a lemon?
Great tractor when it runs, mows good, but dealing with repairs every year, not worth it.
I have a huskee 23 HP with a B&S engine that is 7 years old and no engine problems. Should I consider re-powering the cub with a B&S? Honda also has a 26 HP but they want $1700.00 for it.
Not knocking brands, just looking for advice.
Thanks.
