My question is can I replace a 18hp recoil start with a 18hp electric start? I found a used scag 18hp vanguard. The motor has some oil around the heads, runs good doesn't really smoke. I found a 18 hp electric start for around $600 but its electric start. I found a recoil 18hp for around $900. My game plan was to buy the mower for $750 run it till it dies then install electric start 18hp and battery. Can this be done without alot of extra work? Thanks for any info

What he said, it has been done before but it's quite a bit to it...
In my opinion you're as well off keep shopping for an 18hp recoil, they are a little more expensive than ES but if the ES is going for 600 then you should be able to find a recoil for 650-750 or thereabouts, maybe 800 but 9 is sounding a bit outrageous I think.
Depending on the mower, if the deck size isn't any bigger than 52" and it's a belt drive I think a 15hp Kohler would do as well, matter of fact if money is the issue I would quickly consider the 15hp Vanguard.

If you aren't adverse to recoil start, it might be simpler to add those parts to an electric start engine??
