Hi

I have a vermeer 625i with the kohler 25 petrol engine on it and I think the rings have/are going gone!!! oil spewing from dipstick which leads me to think that the crank case is getting preasurised.

 

Had some work done on it last year, as the head gasket had gone. Unfortunatley the threads in the block had to be helicoiled so the mechanic has said that he doesn`t know how long it will last!!

 

So i`m looking for an old but usable kohler or possibly changing it to a diesel perkins?? However finances don`t allow for too much.

 

we are in a catch 22 situation at the moment, work booked in but chipper nearly up the swannee.

 

Any help/advise would be gratefully recieved.

Get shot of that poxy petrol. and put a diesel on it. Those kohler petrols arent worth throwing money after. I had a deutz twin cyl put on mine, and another surgeon down here recently put a little kubota on his. We are blessed with the most incredibly competent agri engineer there is tho, which made things easier. The machine is worth sorting tho, as it is totally bombproof compared to nigh on all the other 6" tow-behinds out there.

It’s only a hydraulic pump drive, you can pick up a pump drive from a pulley or, on some engines it can come off the timing gear drive.

 

If you want to keep it something like stock look out for a hatz, lombardini/rugerini engine, they are 2 cylinder diesel and all have a take off for a pump drive. (avoid the Hatz if you have the choice, parts are cheaper for the others)
