One thing that has not been discussed is balance and weight. Kohler M Series engines are made of cast iron and use a very heavy flywheel. Your Kohler may weigh twice as much as an aluminum Honda clone engine. So depending on the style of tiller you have, using a lightweight engine may affect the balance and performance of the tiller. Front-tine models are notorious for bouncing around. Rear-tine models use the engine weight to offset the tine area weight when you have to lift the tiller up at the end of a run and quickly do a 180 for the next pass.
When Troy-Built engineered your tiller, they did so in full recognition of the engine weight. This too.... is something you may wish to ponder while deciding on a course of action.
