Giant Vac Leaf Loader

[MOOSE]

Ok, giant vac leaf loader, pull behind. It has a Kohler K532 I believe. I think its on its way out.

Has anyone ever replaced a motor on one of these. And how about going with a new Kohler for it. Or can or should I rebuild the old Kohler.

Thanks Guys

Great news!!

If you get it off the Giant vac i would go with a new engine, Only if your housing is still in good shape. If you go short block you can be chasing carb and other problems down the road.You put new on , gas her up and suck leaves lolol

That's what I thought. New is diffently better. Now I need to find out the Kohler spec# for the right engine for it. And were off to the leaf pile. Thanks

The 532 is a 20hp, All you need to do is measure the diameter, Lenth and keyway size of your old engine. You can look here for a replacement, http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/ProductList.asp?Category=Engine&Supplier=Kohler They have quite a few CH20's listed but pay attention to whether they have the control panel with switch.

Take care
