I had a 17.5 and 20 hp Kohler singles in a JD and a Husq. 24 and 26" mower respectively. Last year I went to ebay and bought new BS 18 and 20 V twins for $600 and $700 with free shipping, no tax. Since I had the machines extensively modified in other ways to suit me I didn't want to just junk them and buy new, having to start over and there weren't any problems with them other than normal service items that come and go.
It'll be a year since I made the swap. The JD is a L110 and it's my Gator getting used every day. The engines are super and run/start great with super fuel efficiency. The hole patterns in the mower decks in both machines are stamped for either singles or V engines, 10" diameter bolt pattern as I recall. The wiring and fuel connections are identical since the OEMs make the machines to accept either engine.
The difference comes in the throttle and choke. I bought a couple of JD separate C-T controls also on ebay, made for the JD L120 (has the V engine) and mounted on the side of the cowling just to the left and below the original control. One lever is black and the other orange to help in identifyiing them. They work super. Really worth your consideration if your engine is your only problem.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
