Well, turns out it wasn’t so innocent. When it wouldn’t start I noticed it was pretty low on oil (which is odd since it wasn’t leaking and doesn’t smoke, but I hadn’t checked it in a while), so I topped it off, started it back up and ran great. For 10 minutes. Now it’s seized up completely. Guess I’m looking for a Kohler after all. Got a call in to Terry about the details of the swap. And need to figure out the bypass hose to tow it out of my driveway - I can’t tell from the manual where the bypass plugs are.
Not a good day.

Dead battery, broken exhaust stud, tow ports, gas tanks, welding, carbs.... YIKES!
My 2001 model year PT425 battery died. The metal battery hold down strap wore through the case and that was that. As many of you know, on this iteration of PT425 layout, the muffler has to be removed to get the battery out. Four nuts on four studs.... three came off... one stud snapped very...
